«During an interview with Sviatlana Alexievich, I, incidentally, told her about my photo project "EthnoPhotoSets". Ms. Sviatlana unexpectedly took out 100 euros and said:
— Buy a beautiful authentic embroidered shirt for your project.
No sooner said than done. Today, this wonderful authentic embroidered shirt has already joined the collection.
For me, this is not just a valuable acquisition, but also a very precious sign of support from the Nobel laureate. Sincere thanks, dear Ms. Sviatlana, for your help, trust, and attention to my project,» wrote Larysa Shchyrakova.
