There were flags of Russia, Soviet Union, unacknowledged People’s Republic of Donbass and even a kind of the church banner depicting Jesus Christ.

As per the head of the cultural association Nadezhda Irina Vikhoreva, the things are meant for one of the schools in Donetsk, a part of the donations will be granted to the foster school in Krasnodon. She expressed hope that the load will be even heavier as more people will bring their donations.
