Then followed verbal insults in our address and accusations that our documents are fake, "- told" Vesti "Galina.
According to her, she presented a document where she and her husband were pasted a photo, which is issued to the family, as well as a separate certificate of Justin. "I paid for my husband, and I do not consider it necessary to pay for myself and my child, because I have such a privilege," continues Galina.
