Olga Sergeevna, poor thing, tried everythingdozens of clinics, monasteries, pilgrimages to holy places, even a trip to Jerusalem. Her husband, Pyotr, stood by her like a true knight, accompanying her everywhere, but nothing helped.
Then they decided to become parents to children who needed them. Packing for a trip to a nearby orphanage, hoping to adopt two girls, they were interrupted when Olga suddenly vomited at the smell of the meat patties shed just packed.
