Alina Kirichevska

In the modern world, where many of us face challenges and changes, the stories of people capable of finding joy in the most difficult moments deserve special attention. One such vibrant personality is Alina Kirichevskaya - a mother of many, a photographer, and a true fighter for her happiness.

Alina lived in the cozy town of Vasilievka. However, when the war in Ukraine brought its changes, and their city fell under occupation, the Kirichevsky family was forced to leave their native home. With three children and two cats in their arms, they embarked on the unknown, leaving behind familiar streets, courtyards, and memories.

In Germany, Alina found herself faced with the need to rebuild her life. But even in difficult moments, she found a source of strength and inspiration in her passion - photography.

Several years before the war, Alina fell in love with photography. Since then, it has become an integral part of her life. As Alina says, "Thanks to photography, I can express the beauty within me. After coming to Germany, photography became the bridge that connected me to my past life. After all, without the past, there is no future. By giving the emotions of joy to others, I returned to life." Numerous photos for this website were taken by Alina.

In addition to photography, another means of healing for Alina became people. Sincere, kind, and selfless personalities became her support in difficult moments. Alina claims that meetings with people with big hearts not only helped her cope with difficulties but also made her love her new life in Germany.

For full integration into the new society, Alina decided to learn the German language. This choice not only helped her communicate freely with others but also facilitated a quicker integration into society and the ability to contribute here.

An essential aspect of Alina's life became the gift of joyous emotions to others. Through her photography and communication, she returns to life, creating an atmosphere of joy and positivity for herself and those around her.
