I began to work for the Voice of Russia in late 2005 when I realized that I wanted to change my psychologist career. Six years of study at the Dashkova Humanities Institute and counseling practice made it clear that it’s not so amusing to deal with other people’s problems. I wanted a less depressing and more creative job and got one at the Voice of Russia World Service. I was offered to make my own Kaleidoscope weekly feature and I’ve been its author for the last four years. My interests and preferences are all reflected in the themes of the program I author, as I focus on the issues I really care about. Moreover, it’s a nice feeling to be surrounded by true professionals who can teach you a lot of new things.

During the Second World War domesticated birds and beasts, also known as pets, fought the enemy side by side with the soldiers. They were awarded no medals. They were unaware that they were accomplishing feats of heroism; they did it because they’d been so taught by people. And they got killed just as soldiers did.

Hundreds of Soviet soldiers who died in the fierce fighting on the territory of today’s North Ossetia during the Second World War have not been identified yet.
