“The last survivors”
The last three participants arrived directly from Moscow to Bishkek. Andrey Kroshanov, Irina Anisimova and the Italian got to know each other already on the board.
Andrey arrived with his wife Olga. She found the information about the project Doctor Life. Thanks to her, Andrey became one of the participants, and got a ticket to a new life.
Tall and seemingly austere man with tattoos appeared to be a very open and smiling person. But the first thing that caught the eye was his limping, his hands were swollen and covered with numerous ulcers.
"Just two days ago, after another dose, the veins on legs were so swollen so that the right leg is almost not moving not though I reduced the dose to 0.5 grams” Andrey says without hesitation.
He shares his future plans:
"I want a baby, I want a normal life with a normal job. I promised friends and relatives in Moscow that my wife will be pregnant by our return back. My parents thought about having a baby when they visited neighboring Kazakhstan. My wife and I should also follow their example! But in our case, it will be here in Kyrgyzstan ".
The Italian was also open and talkative. This tall, light blond man with blue eyes hiding his name, not because he is afraid of something or does not want to "show up" but simply:
"My mom asked, she does not want her friends to know," the Italian said.
Compared to other addicts, he has friends. They are aware of his participation in the project and look forward to his return to Moscow. He realized that it's time to stop once and for all when he broke after three and a half years of remission and lost everything he acquired.
Now he is sure that besides his own desire for a full recovery, he also requires assistance of qualified professionals.
"I'm ready to follow all doctors’ prescriptions. I did not come here to relax, but to be treated," the Italian adds.
Irina Anisimova - the only participant who came alone, without an escort. Irina doesn’t have parents, and her other relatives have their own work to do. Irina left her 8-year-old daughter Yana with them, and just took a photo of her.
"My daughter knows where I was going, or rather why I was going... she only asked when I will come back " Irina says.
On the night before leaving to Bishkek, Irina did take a dose of heroin. She hopes that it will be the last dose of her life, because she decided to fight on to victory.
