"The Quiet Scream"
This is not just a story. It is a confession.
A woman, who finally found the courage to speak after decades of silence, begins her tale in a café, sitting across from me. At first glance, she seems calm, but every word she speaks is like a shard of the past-still sharp, still bleeding.
There are no heroes here, and no vanquished-only people broken by love, betrayal, and an unrelenting longing for freedom.
She tells of a love greater than fear. Of secrets that tore families apart. Of a struggle fought in the shadow of the Soviet regime-not only by men, but by women who risked everything.
And as her story reaches the present day, one question lingers:
Who is truly guilty, and who has been saved?
And will the quiet scream we carry within our hearts ever truly fade?
