Alla, 42, hugs her son Savelii, 10, near the grave of Ihor Krotkih, husband of Alla and father to Savelii, on May 1, 2022 in Irpin, Ukraine. Ihor Krotkih was a Ukrainian soldier who was killed during the Russian occupation of Irpin. His older son Vladsylav, 21, and his brother Yurii, 48, were heavily injured in that battle, as they tried to evacuate him. The practice of visiting relatives' graves the week after orthodox Easter, a tradition referred to as Hrobki or Provody, held added poignancy as the country mourns the civilians and soldiers lost to the war with Russia.
