For over a month, Zdvyzhivka was under Russian occupation. After Ukrainian forces liberated the village on March 31st, 2022, the first thing the residents did was retrieve their tools from the looted sheds and started working to rid their homes of all traces of the Russians’ presence.

This is a story about people who have to rebuild their homes. The miracles, of course, don't happen by themselves. It's the people that make them happen.
