10:29 am
vacation gutted to a taxi driver by a former migrant worker who used to make a living in moscow he told me that he really worked hard driving unloading trucks after five years he came back home and bought a house yes for the seller that russians can't even survive and he was able to buy a house employers in russia in america say that locals don't want to work are demotivated well want to margaret work or on a salary that could build a bright future one compared to a local who can't even make ends meet while you could see why the migrant workers are a lot more motivated let me put it to you this way if you knew that you had to work five hard years of some awful labor under awful conditions somewhere far away like brazil or germany what would be able to pay off a house would you do it i think you would let's not buy into this myth that locals in country x. don't want to work they just don't want to work and complete futility for table scraps but the shust my opinion. rightly see. first strike. and i think you're.
10:30 am
on our reporters twitter. and instagram. to be in the. book and i realize at some point that the goal of all my work in life was nothing more than about making money and squiggle as possible the ceiling that's what it was all for i couldn't say i was an editor for a glossy magazine at the time which was not in ok so i can buy another fur coat or a new car or even an apartment so what and thirty four i don't have a man whom i would like to start a family with yet i knew. then it was time to stop drop it all and try to find
10:31 am
myself. i wanted waking up in the morning and go into work. i came across an advertisement s.o.s. villages for kids looking for mothers. i was thrilled when i saw it i had to write a letter to the director and i spent half a day of my computer at home alone trying to find words to describe what i felt. could convince him that i was the mom they were looking for and they had to call me immediately.
10:32 am
yes. fine thanks go on and look through your c.v. why you decided to work in the village it's a way of life it is twenty four hours but what i don't like is spending eight hours a day at work without really knowing why or weren't doing it for. a successful applicant for the position of s.o.'s mother is a twenty seven to forty three year old woman who either doesn't have children of her own or has adult children who live independently. thirty for. a handsome young man who's going to love you and want to have children with you but what i tell the kids. found herself it's all over. it's not as though there are crowds of men here in the village lining up for me begging big me to make me please . for the kids. kindness and care
10:33 am
it was very fond of cooking reading and talking to interesting intelligent people. and interesting. week. once you get good morning kids good morning wake up. get up it's time to go to school no one to sleep. due to doing one boy for example told me that once he woke up got ready and went to school and it was so early in the morning that even the night watchman was still asleep when it was black his mother was a drug addict she didn't even notice her child gone i mean to exclude him they told me my scariest stories about what their lives her life and all that there are drunk mothers fleeing home and living on the streets or in on heated garages that's what
10:34 am
these small children have gone through they've led me into their world and it became easier for them to cope. have you prepared clothes for their animal corner that have you taken was in the closet yes and the raincoat no problem go do it then . it's not a kindergarten or an offer in which it's a house where you live with your family or your children that five children. bedsits fun and cool new cool they're all small so they're always running of our life they're full of and energy is so they're constantly doing something or inflame . the world good morning. because the reason we faced this on a post-war collective. was any women and children here. that i'm an old soldier
10:35 am
myself just like after the second world war so we all work together here. and it was an ordinary week no incidents everything's fine in our house. while others here work a bit like the left turn a ship. it's good enough if the captain allows you to go ashore once a week or even once a month. the only question was how do you feel. i can say anything was especially appalling or surprising it's more or less what i had prepared for some things i didn't know about were quite unexpected but they didn't shock me. and wanted to enjoy the most wanted to bring you joy in the next fifteen years the kids. truth be told on this ship too it's my duty and the only difference is that i live in this cabin with my wife and child how. building this ship brought me back to my naval yes as a young. woman i built this ship just the way i remember it. as
10:36 am
my service yes we still have it. with my former colleagues and fellow cadets. enough its naval officers that support the village and. tell them it's not just any village it's an s.o.s. village. is an international distress signal meaning save our souls. just as the nose of any go. into tears i told him comforting. if i happen to be around hold and try to calm down a child in distress. i can be a father to seventy children just like i'll be a husband to twelve mothers. here. or there are there are. at the beach. they won't
10:37 am
sting. sting. you know you'll live. you know i would want for you. think an s.o.s. father is probably a man. who was with her she must be even tempered and have the patience to the same . time because in the evening when children come from school kindergarden since extra lessons they gather rome to me and started going mom help me help me mom he's taking my pen it becomes a currys the house. why you all shall sing did you join the drama club yes. they are and. they're clean my nails are clean. what do you do any more color and and they also go to syria. for you are those sergey is
10:38 am
a true father for the whole village the mothers and children alike also with a capital b. . history of being going to argue she would have made a wonderful father because he's very firm level headed confident and competent to know how to treat children. my sister and her husband still try to convince me that i should have a child of my own they tell me not to worry that i don't have a husband and promise to support me after they keep saying that it's not a real family because their children are not male birth i think it's stupid idea i hope i will fall in love with a man who will force me to choose between him and the kids got about i hope i'll never face such a choice. pressure ridges i wish that i would i want to marry a man who will take responsibility for me and the children but i haven't met such
10:39 am
a man yet. but i've regained an appetite for life and that's what happened to me this place lives at its own pace you feel as though you're doing something useful. young what is working for the us i've been divorced for quite a while and lived alone for more than nine years. have a sixteen year old daughter who is in the tenth grade and an elderly mother there back in perth and she would be sceptical us another was that my daughter may be jealous but only of the youngest kid six year old korea. or the she's a very tenacious child you know you don't let me go no i won't. we got off this list quite a difficult child to very opinionated and sometimes my daughter says now i know i hate children if i reply to you before but it will pass in time and there's no reason for you to love kids at the age of sixteen. until now dahlia is kind of she
10:40 am
helps me with my homework and cooking and teaches me to be healthy and brave. boy with kids at first i took four children in january two more joined our family. i came back from vacation to discover that i had six children not four and it's six children that i need to look after you. hello sweetheart how are you going to get up. fine so what do you have any free time. on a toll on what about you what's new let us know everything's alright rather the time we learn brings home good marks three or four aides every day ordered those are because i got good marks for general conduct which especially pleased me. hello
10:41 am
hello. wedding homework is hurting me with physics well make sure your boyfriend doesn't distract you from your studies when need to talk. well let's talk about ten pm when i put the kids to bed was. that all this stuff but i don't want her to think i've left her there. that's why i would regularly talk online that's why i always send money back home. i put aside very little barely enough for a modest life it would be great to have the support of the man i love. i hope i won't have to choose between. work i had already face a choice once. i left work and my husband served in the military but i would choose a man. this man had better be prepared to accept me with the work i have and the
10:42 am
life i. think there probably no such man. they're all villages like this in russia where every mother's bring their own children and raise them all together. but it's not the same. even if a mother does care for everyone equally all the children start complaining that she loves one more than the other of course there is a distinction here my daughter is my own daughter. realized i'm not the kind of person who can raise and log and adopt a child i'm not jealous i'm a one down. not even one a mother calls him at eleven or twelve doesn't even if she's young and attractive i say absolutely call. me mom and new mothers will be younger and younger kid day for example i was going to wait and met my has been in the company of
10:43 am
a pretty young woman going to the new husband in the company of me on the floor. with a young mother. so as mom as for s.o.'s dad you have to go through the whole country with a fine tooth comb to find a couple like vastly difficult for. women s.o.'s mom falls in love with a man it's different. than s.o.'s mother but he's not an asset. yes debt she's my junior but what about him my his boss to sort of doing in a sense from three of my rival as we speak in korea. this is a media lead us so we believe that maybe. i will soon push the security follow your party visible. push is that no one is asking with the guests that you
10:44 am
deserve answers from it's all on politicking only on r t. the people want to. pick up something that is quite simply a mess. place was no way oh. clearly they were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. and sold to the us or turned over to the us for. the soul that could be buried alive. was saved with great effort. into they want to turn me into a terrorist so it was with them they wanted me to admit that i was a member of al qaeda or taliban or that i fought with them. not about time i didn't
10:45 am
even know what al qaeda is nevertheless there are people all. brave enough to start a fight. something is going to be done that's going to be done by me in the span of a short amount of time to do it but it's going to impact me i'd be prosecuted but it's going to impact. the wife my daughter. the one time a trap. on our t.v. . dramas that can't be ignored. to the. stories others who a few still notice. faces change the world lights now. a full picture of today's the i phone to us from around the globe. to up to. fifty.
10:46 am
the old. boy i was surprised when alexander the oldest of the kids called me mom she was the first to do it was too early for us i jumped at that moment because i wasn't ready yet it's like if a man proposes to you and you answer whoa i need time to think so when she called me mom i needed time to think to get used to the idea i spent a couple of days sorting out my feelings. that well my mom. and dad meant another woman. i didn't understand it when i first saw her. i know lisa and to her and called her names and said there's two things to her just
10:47 am
now it's only until another to call mom. because family used to her. she sky and nice. and caring with mom is you could say. the most important person in your lie. my big conflict if i tell a child to do something for example kids often want to play instead of doing their homework one of my girls takes these situations very close to heart and closes herself up. and because of these strong emotions she might start calling me auntie a little not again. now i even feel slightly offended and i go like why are you calling me that i mean mother how can you say that. she came of the direct question. and then cherokee. she likes it when it's clean
10:48 am
and. that's. just the way our own parents didn't want us there so when they came to the children's village and a stooge for the first time that was what it meant to be needed to be cared for. you in a gay felt i had a chance to achieve something in this life of the bush. i like this job because it allows me to create chocolate is like modeling clay now it's flowing but in half an hour it will said and i'll be able to put it into any shape i like that when i lived in the village mom would say that if she did everything instead of us we would never learn that she told us we had to do everything ourselves. because my dream is to open my own chocolate factory. my real mother only once the
10:49 am
limit on a street in the town of pushkin this woman approached me and said hello how are you . i realize it was my mother standing before me the woman who had carried me for nine months. these were the only words she had ever said to me so i answered i'm fine good bye. my village mother went with me through everything is no no says carl's and joyful mom and. each year she invited us to her house while we were in sole calls that i never even noticed it was more work for her to. call me to see where i come in on friday where coming on saturday evening they know they will be welcomed here one says same bank not the same as i want to meet. she is startling
10:50 am
dependent yes i am independent. it's just that i get marriage we've been living together for on the here and we're still getting used to each other my has new ones to have three kids i told him to raise that list to one tourist and then we'll see . there are two sisters and they are very close the older one will defend the younger to the last drop of blood in spite of being small and she has a very strong characters so when the older kids try to raise their voices to her she immediately takes them down a peg. their grandmother and grandfather often come to visit them it's very important when relatives can stay in touch especially if they don't just come with a bag of presents and leave thinking they've done their duty but when they actually
10:51 am
spend time with the kids. normal rules. mom i did my daughter was a single mother. after giving birth to police alexandra she started seeing a drug addict and forgot about the children for some time to look awkward to but it was our birth. siblings can be sent to the same or for. an age of clues for doing it so in this case this village was a blessing because they were not separate it now my first my wife died of a stroke then she suffered a stroke to. islam if i hadn't had a stroke the girls wouldn't have ended up with a great grandfather is eighty two don't allow him to take the girls because of his age and i'm disabled they told me you yourself need to be looked after we can't allow you to take the kids' clothes scoop alina did
10:52 am
a lot to do gymnastics what i wanted to gymnastics. and i treat them as my own daughter's no good and want some strangers can just come and take them away i don't want it to happen we're going to hear such things i get really really nervous because i noticed that yesterday i got a phone call apparently there's some couple that wants to adopt a child yosh would my heart sank when i heard it i thought you wish i won't let you take them from me so easily. just announced in the record this is how she prepares for bed usually kids watch cartoons and go to sleep but she gets even more excited because of cartoons she different from other children she was so tender of his first thing you know when your child hold you in tissue they read kindness. to get some additional risk with
10:53 am
these children it's different they don't give anything they only take trying to make up for the lack of kindness in their life and this girl radiated warmth. to. most of. all our children are in the database for adoption one woman saw a picture on the internet and decided to adopt this child how she's so much like my daughter when she was small she's just her exact copy. i called her grandmother and she told me that the adoptive mother has stopped all contact contact because little you all this and that she said she heard the girl's voice but the woman told her she wouldn't give the girl the phone the girl with no roots going to be through another route to go back to the dawn of time. which i'm afraid that if something happens to this woman the girl be sent to an orphanage
10:54 am
again children should live in a family. only after the last child leaves the orphanage. should people come and take because it's from here in the village it's not the worst place in the world for these children. with village kids play the games i didn't have time to as a kid resilience to. the ok i mean your team they are you know going off along the boys it's just that i have to sign papers and attach seals to show. well done with girls used to be tough but when you're raising a boy sometimes you have to be stern and force him to do things through the stage you can have a serious man to man talk with him. so you're going to be a man a lot after all. is the father of the whole village. but he doesn't respond to a dad because he has his own daughter i don't think i will ever call him dad but in
10:55 am
fact half of the kids call said gay father no they don't yes they do you i heard that what i have. why you are going it's true i had them i know better you have no i'm not jealous because i think it's ok for this child it's what these kids need. they simply need to have someone to go dad to rare occasions very small children asked if i was the debt my said you know i'm the director here he's not. just the director being a dad is one thing and then being a director is close it's still a completely different thing.
10:56 am
to social when you want to kazan when i was picking my kids up from school and kindergarten teacher i saw a woman with three children we did it in exchange the knowing look and smile to each other there was a wonderful feeling i got there moment i really felt like a mother of five we were both mothers of a large family holo these are your children and there's a mind i knew then what a mother's happiness means that's when all your children are with you. one day i came and said ok kids our life is about to change because i'm leaving you because i found a new toy and the story is my husband yes it was baby trail that was scattered or political it. still is the one to children need to be happy most of all in one not
10:57 am
only monitor spot fathers in the village as well i still thought they were uncommon to find a husband whole biala dad. again when mom decides to leave same place and mom ran us with you our own wishes coincide but if i ever go away i would take the kids with me without a doubt but i would have never thought that they were actually looking for a husband for me of less.
