— Were people surprised to see you with a broom?
— We started at 8:30 a.m., who walks the streets at such an hour? There was a grandmother who called every day and complained that she didn’t clean it properly (laughs). At 8:35 she sat by the window and looked out, we waved to her.
– Interesting?
– Simply amazing! If I hadn’t had such an experience, I probably would have thought that I had lived my life in vain,” Shirokov told .
