"I used to have complete faith in our country," says Lyubov. The last time she spoke to her mother was a day after Ukrainian forces broke into Russia's Kursk region more than two years ago.
Now she feels "resentful towards the [Russian] state", in a country where most people avoid criticising the full-scale invasion unleashed on Ukraine in February 2022.
The local governor says more than 300 Russians are still missing in Kursk region, but no-one really knows the true figure.
Lyubov waited in vain for her mother's body to be brought out, while other families had no idea if their relatives were alive or dead.
