Description from the author:
I would like to devote two of my works to this topic (1 - a man is depicted, 2 - a woman). Their destinies are never crossed and they were not familiar, but they were united by one thing and this Torment. We always need to remember how in our history some groups of people were oppressed and how a certain number of people continue to do this now. No matter how many talented doctors, writers, artists, public figures, engineers and others came out who, perhaps, would change our world for the better, but they could not simply sweat that society would not allow it.
