Bohdan Kabula is 35. He has cerebral palsy and walks with the help of an elbow crutch. Before he was forcibly deported to russia, Bohdan lived in a geriatric nursing home in Kakhovka. After the russians came to their hometown, they started to threaten Bohdan and others at the nursing home by saying they'd deport them to the temporarily occupied territories and shoot them dead. The men were accused of being Ukrainian spies. The horror was in the air – people in Kakhovka kept disappearing, and some were shot in the street. In November 2022, as the Ukrainian counteroffensive drew near, Bohdan was told he would be "evacuated to russia to save him from the nazis". Despite refusing to go, he was taken to Dzhankoi and then to a Voronezh nursing home. Living there was similar to being imprisoned. The conditions were terrible and the staff there treated Bohdan and all other Ukrainians with contempt even referring to them as "nazis". They were told they would be punished if they tried to escape. At first, the administration of the nursing home refused to give back Bohdan's passport to prevent him from leaving. With the help of the "Helping to Leave" organization, Bohdan was able to get to Moscow and then St. Petersburg, cross the border with Estonia and catch a flight to Norway. There he settled down in the city of Bergen. Bohdan describes leaving russia as anticipating your birthday and awaiting wonderful gifts. He is planning to learn Norwegian and get a job.
