Elena Solod (right), two children’s mother, the Bank Ukrajina depositor and pensioner Valentina Levchenko protest near the Zaporizhian Obsalt administration house on Friday, September 21, 2001. The fifth day on end Elena Solod conducts the hunger strike at the Zaporizhian oblast administration house. Pensioner Valentina Levchenko supported the hunger-strake too. City authorities banned Elena to fix the tent, and she spends the all day long in the street on blankets and sheepskin coat. The further Elena’s actions depend on the reaction of city leadership on her hunger strike. Photo by Egor Sapronov/ UNIAN
