Who Is Olga Bolgova?
Olga Bolgova is a citizen of Ukraine known for her footage showing the struggle she endured along with her family during the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Mrs. Bolgova went from a comfortable life as a teacher in Mariupol’s southern city to hiding from barrages and sleeping in basements.
On the first day of the war, she wrote in her diary that she awoke before the alarm clock, at 6:30 a.m., from some kind of bang. Her husband informed her that it was war.
She began calling her parents. She dashed to school in search of the laptop. They said there would be a week of “vacation.”
After learning about the war, she dashed out the door to get some groceries and cash from an ATM. She wrote in her diary that there was a large crowd, just as there was before the new year.
Tragedy Explained In Olga Bolgova “My Mariupo Diary”
In excerpts from her “My Mariupo Diary” and photographs shared with The Telegraph, she describes how she, her husband Aleksey, son Artem, and daughter Arina were subjected to bombardment, food, and water shortages, and bitter cold before fleeing to Zaporizhzhya last week.
Her diary begins on February 24, the day Russia invades Ukraine, and ends on March 15.
She explained everything in her diary, all the tragic incidents she had to endure during wartime.
She explains it on the last day “Tonight it was clear that we needed to leave. They shelled near us all night until 5 a.m. Bodies can be found everywhere. In a long line, an infinite number of cars drive out of the city.”
“God, please help us to drive to Zaporizhzhya.”
Who Are Olga Bolgova Family?
Olga Bolgova lives with her small family. She is married to Aleksey.
The couple shares two children; a son and a daughter. Her son’s name is Artem, while her daughter’s name is Arina. It must be very difficult for the whole family and many other countless family to go through this nightmare.
We hope that the war will end soon and that peace will reign.
