I lived in the city of Torez. The old flat panel five-story building did not even have central heating. Many of the rooms were the usual stove from sheet metal, which were heated with wood or coal mined in the mines. Sheet metal pipe sticking out of the furnace of the most soot-blackened windows of high-rise buildings.

"Yes, in a mine for charcoal, where else?" - She said. "So after all the night in the yard!" - I wondered. Pretty drunk, tired birthday girl looked at me with a smile and said quietly: "Under the ground is always night. At any time of the day ».
