With this dark horizon, Alexiévich closed her speech in the language that she writes: Russian. Her voice started rememering her childhoon and finished talking about testimonies of a lot of Russians. In the middle, the testionies of the World War II and the Chernobyl massacre, until the finish of a mea culpa: We lost the opportunity that we had on the 90's.
