Moscow writer and publicist Yelizaveta Aleksandrova-Zorina saw Donetsk as the city of beggars, in which apathy and post-war depression reign.

"The city looks empty and abandoned… Fatigue and disappointment in Donetsk can be seen everywhere… even the military, police and officials of the new government have no previous frenzy. Former volunteers who once joined the ranks of the militia "for the idea", go there for the second time for money. After all, there is almost no work, and Russia pays $230 for the militia - money by local standards. The salaries rarely exceed $150, and many are happy to receive at least $75", - Aleksandrova-Zorina writes. According to her, almost no one speaks about politics in Donetsk, you will not hear here either about Poroshenko, nor about Putin. All they say is about food. She also told how in the Obzhora shop in the center of Donetsk "the old woman who asked alms kissed my hand when I handed her $1".
