— Why is it important for you to be involved in the restoration of Ukraine?
— I have a personal connection with Ukraine — I was born in Odessa. My parents lived there for five years and studied. But, unfortunately, I didn't have an opportunity to go there. I think in the future it will appear when this nightmare is over. And I even have a medal “Born in Ukraine”, which I still keep. Why is it important to help? First, the feeling of the injustice of what is happening now. And then, as my teacher says, we must start with ourselves. In order to reduce the level of violence in the world, you must first get rid of the violence in your heart. The little violence that we have in our hearts or minds also brings great harm. And if we start to track the notes of aggression inside ourselves, even rude speech or some kind of unkind reaction to those little things that annoy us in everyday life, if we start to reduce this aggression, this will help the outside world become kinder and better. And toloka for me is a sort of meditation (laughs). The creation of these dolls introduces such a state of absolute calmness. And in general, the atmosphere at tolokas is very kind, conducive to communication and at the same time to immersion in oneself.
