D.F. Kudrytsky lived in Boyarka and commuted to Kyiv for work. In 1932, he had a family of 6 but a search brigade came to his house and took away 50 kilograms of potatoes and their seeds. In 1932-33, people began to swell up. Around the train station, there were corpses and people who could no longer walk. They were usually picked up and taken away, but it was not clear where. There were also children with swollen bellies sitting near the fences. A wagon picked them up, too. People said those children were taken to an orphanage. Most did not have the means to help. Meanwhile, a loudspeaker at the train station broadcast a song about the Soviet Union as a country where a person could live and breathe freely.
