“In St. Petersburg they met. As I told dad first saw mom at the metro station when she was waiting for the train. He drew attention to the red boots, in which she was wrapped. And decided to sit in the same train, and he liked the girl. Since they were introduced, well after my birth the family returned to Moldova”, – said Lydia with journalists.
