An event "Oh, Mom" was held in the women's colony

In the women's colony of Petropavlovsk, on the eve of the "International Women's Day" on March 8, an event "Oh, Ana" was held.

On this day, a festive concert dedicated to female convicts took place. After the concert, while watching a video shot by their children and grandchildren, not a single woman could hold back her tears. Such special events undoubtedly excite the hearts and souls, reminding them that they are waiting at home.

- Such events remind that convicts are mothers. They are rushing to their children, grandchildren, who are waiting for them at large. Such events stimulate convicts for early release, - psychologist Gulzhan Seksembayeva.

The convicted women took the work of Chingiz Aitmatov "And the day lasts longer than a century" as the basis of the concert program. The plot of the play is based on the image of the mother "Naiman-Ana", who lost her son.The unusual idea of the play, which opened in the image of "Naiman-Ana", symbolizes the boundless love of the mother.

After the songs and dances, the women were presented with a video created by their children and grandchildren.

Lyudmila Nikolaeva was sentenced under Article 297 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 10 years. She has already served 3 years in the ES-164/6 institution, 7 years remain. When she was put in prison, her little daughter was only 1 year old. At the moment when the convict saw her son on the video, she began to cry. But, she clearly didn't expect to see him live.

- I haven't seen my mom for six months. I really missed her. When my mother got into the institution, my sister was only a year old, now she is 4 years old. I have a son, and my sister is like a daughter to me. I try not to deny her anything, because I understand that she is deprived of parental attention, - the son of the convicted Georgy Nikolaev.

 - It's hard to explain what's going on inside me. I'm happy. I didn't expect this to happen. 2 children are waiting for me at liberty. I made a big mistake and got here. I will not see my daughter and grandson go to kindergarten, school, my heart hurts even more from this. I am very grateful to the management of the EU-164/6 institution for such a surprise, - convicted Lyudmila Nikolaeva.

To date, about 250 women are serving their sentences in the women's colony of Petropavlovsk.
