Lolita Hryhorieva 42:34
He was born in Dnipro.

And what was the transition to Ukrainian like you and your family? Because you're, you were saying at the beginning that your fathers started speaking Ukrainian at home with your family.

Lolita Hryhorieva 42:50
Yeah. He started word by word. And he didn't do it really well, cause before when it was like the Soviet Union, it wasn't so popular to speak Ukrainian. So mostly people speak Russian, and they don't use this language. So for him, it was a challenge, but he tried every day, just a few words. Sometimes we correct him by helping him to speak better. And then he was correcting us, so he was pretty much good that this.
