Our dad is dying.” The priest gets out of the car. The traffic policemen see all this, they say: “Daria Arkadyevna, we understand, we are leaving.” We ran upstairs. Alexander Ivanovich was almost speechless, but we managed to give him communion. Literally after 10 minutes, Alexander Ivanovich fell asleep, “said Dontsova.
