Q: What about your other relatives in Russia, grandmother and grandfather?
A:'They were also strangers to me, when I came to see them. I did not know any of them. I have seen them maybe five or six times.'
Q: What are their names?
A:'I don't remember.'
Q: And your aunt?
A:'Dina... maybe. I did not have any wish to communicate with them, because I feel like they took me from my home, and it was almost like a trap. I think that if anyone wanted to help, they would have done it already.'
Q: Do you have some warm feeling to this place, Novosibirsk, despite all this?
A:'No. I lived in Berdsk. And now I live here. My home is here in this hostel, I do not walk around.'
Q: Do you suffer from the Siberian climate?
A:'Oh! It is so cold here. Unbearably cold. I have no proper clothes.'
