It seemed that everyone knew her: officials and homeless people, stars of show business and children from Donetsk. She was considered a saint and accused of all mortal sins, loved and hated. She died on December 25, 2016, and disputes about her still do not cease. And only one person knows what she really was, because he lived with her for 30 years. We first publish the memoirs of Gleb Glinka, the husband of Dr. Lisa, from the book “Dr. Lisa Glinka. “I am always on the side of the weak”. Diaries, conversations “.
In general, Elizabeth was distinguished by an incredible ability to rejoice as a child, giving himself completely this joy. And she was most happy when she managed to help someone, relieve pain, cheer, laugh, support, help out from trouble and subsequently admonish, regain hope, human dignity.
She was proud, even boasted that the “her” homeless were the most well -groomed, most chicly dressed and shod, wore things of the most fashionable manufacturers. She explained this by the fact that the wives of the oligarchs, when they discovered the adventures of their husbands, gathered their entire wardrobe and brought Dr. Lisa for those in need of her basement, killing two hares at once. And it was difficult for me to give her gifts on holidays or on birthday – my gift could well be transferred to her friend or even unfamiliar, whom she wanted to please.
She has been – at least until the last years, when the military operations in Ukraine continued endlessly and tireless persecution did not subside – cheerful and even a little hooligan. Could play someone. I remember how she convinced me to change my voice and call one of our common acquaintances in the States, an open anti -Semite, and try to gather a donation from him to create a Jewish baseball team “Lehaim”. Elizabeth laughed so much nearby that I had to urgently interrupt the conversation.
At the same time, she could be extremely cold, even cruel, when she defended the interests of helpless. Both resourceful and very stupid.
Elizabeth intuitively, to the touch found an approach to a variety of people, knew what to say, selected the necessary words
… at the same time, she was very feminine, loved fans, lace, frills, wicker baskets, lavender, brooches with cameras, classic silk pearl threads with knots between pearls and generally elegant old -fashioned female accessories.
. Glory most likely annoyed her, and she accepted her fame as obedience. Journalists will confirm that she often broke an interview or performance when a call was received, another call, since any request was to help her to determine the urgent. She behaved like that, as it seems to me, not because we are all equal, but because everyone was created in the image and likeness of God.
. She was incredibly insightful and absolutely honest. Could confuse dates, facts, with confidence to turn right when it was necessary to the left, but with respect to herself and those around her, she had an X -ray vision: she saw people through and through. And thanks to this, she was an excellent diagnostician, psychologist, could help where others were helpless.
Elizabeth in some miraculous way, intuitively, to the touch, found an approach to a variety of people, knew what to say, she selected the necessary words. She overcame the resistance and convinced him to stop the political hunger strike and supporters of Oleg Shein from Astrakhan, and even Nadezhda Savchenko from Kiev, forced the highest -ranking people to help those who did not help, tuned the wealthy people to support prisoners, homeless, deadly sick. She really perceived and loved them, wore it in herself, and people felt it.
Although she easily and quickly had the people of all classes, there were those who she caused frank hatred
In the Orthodox circles, it used to be called a saint. And she didn’t like it
. She reminded everyone that she smoked, used obscene words and prison jargon for a while. As one of our acquaintances aptly remarked, she did everything so that she would not be perceived so. She wanted people not to concentrate on her, but pay attention to her wards.
… although she easily and quickly had the people of all classes, there were those who she caused frank hatred. Apparently, good, compassion, mercy not only inspire, but can arouse the opposite. After 2014, disgusting posts began to appear on social networks. At first, Elizabeth did not notice this herb, at the same time she spared and despised those who wrote it. Then, when for the third year she had to take off crippled children from the places of hostilities for treatment to Moscow, she to the question of the journalist, which she would like more than anything else, replied: “To be like before the war”.
Elizabeth could not stand not only the scale of trouble (“I had no idea that they would kill so many children. That there will be so many wounded among them, ”she said in an interview with Ksenia Sokolova). And not only its duration: three long years. First of all, she could not stand that everything that was happening was not the consequences of a natural disaster, physical or mental illness, ruin, personal or social disaster. No, people deliberately did it with each other, including children, disabled, orphans, old people, sick, helpless, deliberately caused suffering by innocent. She could not come to terms with this, could not miss through herself.
