She is now taking classes online from a distance of 7 hours from Ada.

Here's her update:

"Everything changed so quickly, I barely had time to sleep. But I'm doing well now, I'm back in St. Petersburg. My family is happy to see me, they are good also.

"I'm staying at my apartment as well, completing my ONU online studies. All universities and schools are closed in Russia, so my sister is staying with me, doing her assignments online.
