The village of Dymer in the Kiev region was occupied by the enemy for 35 days. The invaders robbed and intimidated the local population, took people prisoner. And their 200 were burned or buried on the spot in a mass grave. A resident of Dymer, psychologist and doctor Olya Simonova told the editor of the ZN department. UA society Alle Kotlyar about life in the occupied town.

“If earlier they swindled houses around the point where they stood, then in the last three days - all the streets along Dymer. took out everything. We drove on armored personnel carriers. They drove out like gypsies in a britzka. Pillows, chandeliers, rolled up carpets were sticking out of the armored personnel carrier, and they were sitting on top. They went into yards, pointing machine guns at people.. They said " people fled. And they did what they wanted,” says Olya Simonova.

She remembers that the physical education teacher had a small shop. They came to him and said: “Either you open it, and we will take everything we need, or we will ruin everything here.”. He opened. They picked up the stew, holding on for a long time, turned around and left.

There was an ostrich farm in the Katyuzhansky school. There, as the psychologist says, the invaders ate ostriches.

“Laptops, projectors were taken out of the gymnasium in a row. All that could be taken. Literally everything was taken out of the Katyuzhan school. From the new dining room, all tables, hobs... They squeezed cars from people. The worst thing was with the ATO members and those who were related to the police, to the authorities. They included primarily. At first they seemed to be looking for weapons. Then they beat me very badly.. We have a Viknaland factory here, it has a basement where they kept prisoners. Four days after they left here, ours from Bayraktar smashed " There was their ammunition depot. Burned very strongly. They ran away from there, like rats from a sinking ship,” said a resident of Dymer.

Olya Simonova said that her neighbor worked as a bodyguard and knew about the prisoners in the basement. Under the bullets, he climbed there, knocked down the lock and released 22 people.

" Dam Engineer in Kozarovichi. They kept him because they wanted to know how to pump water out of Irpin and make a crossing. You can’t throw a single pontoon across a flooded river, ”said Olya Simonova.

She said that during the occupation of Dymer, many of our people disappeared.. They left home and did not return.

And on March 31, when the invaders were leaving Kozarovichi, they themselves set fire to the warehouse. Olya Simonova recalls that it stank very strongly, and the locals understood that the occupiers burned their own people there, did not take them out. They had a lot of wounded and corpses. An acquaintance of the psychologist said that when the tarpaulin in the ZILs was thrown, he saw piled corpses. The blood dripped.

In Katyuzhanka, as the psychologist said, the invaders buried their. It is known for sure that near the school and behind the club. The most interesting thing is that during the Second World War there was a mass grave of German soldiers. And they buried theirs in the same place.

One day one of them came to the hospital to bathe. Young, 18-19 years old. 40 minutes crying in the shower. And then he went out and put the machine. Said, " Or here. Or, when I return home, they will kill me there.. They were given 14 years for desertion.. But who cares. We had a woman who left Orane with two children (this is near the village of Dityatok). Don't know how they got out. She said that they had Kadyrov's men, and their task was to shoot Russian deserters. They knew about it. That they will just be killed. He cried so much. He said: “I went to the exercises”... ”- says Olya Simonova.
