This is all that is left of Toretsk, a city of 30,000 erased by russia.
Because its foundational mining industry has been leveled and holds no value for the occupiers, it is unlikely the town will ever be restored. It remains a ghost of its former self.

Petit Papa Noël

Et avant de partir
Il faudras bien te couvrir
Dehors il va avoir très froid
C’est un peu à cause de moi

In French-Canada, there is a tradition of leaving shoes by the fireplace for Père Noël.
The shoes were placed instead of stockings, and sometimes contained carrots for Père Noël's donkey Gui.
This is the story of the tradition that isn't as common these days.
