Description:
An interview with a woman born in the village Hlibiv in Husiatyn district, Ternopil oblast. The conversation started with a detailed description of the narrator’s family: the fate of her father, an owner of a cafe in the village Skalat who after the arrival of the Red army joined a Ukrainian nationalist underground, repressions, hidings, mother and children coming out of the underground, the unknown fate of the father, the attitude of the post-war village community to the family of the underground opposer. Another memory was also concerned with the Ukrainian-Polish opposition during the war and bloody massacres that crashed into a child's memory.

More detailed were the memories of the post-war village life: everyday life, education and teachers, heads of the collective farms, the fates of individual insurgents.
