At a graduation ceremony in Kyiv, ninth-grader Yehor Holodryha danced the school waltz alone. His partner, 15-year-old Mariia Polska, was killed in a russian attack. Mariia had dreamed of that evening — the dress, music, waltz, and memories were supposed to stay with her for life. But russia stole more than her graduation night. It stole her life, dreams, and future. Yehor’s dance became a painful symbol in a country where children learn too early to cherish every moment. In their hearts, they carry those whom russia tried to erase from life.
