Danya & Sofia

Moscow — Tel Aviv


“We don’t want to have to explain to our future daughter why she should be scared of the police and keep her mouth shut”.


Sophya and Daniil started planning their move to Israel a long time ago. Before they got married they had a deal: they would leave Russia. On February 23rd, the day before the war began, they left Russia for Israel. They now live in Tel Aviv and are expecting a daughter. She will be born here, far from fear and a lack of freedom, as they say.
