The Petrovsky family have a house of their own, with a small yard, in the town of Kamianske in eastern Ukraine. The house stands in an old district of the city centre, where some buildings date back to the early 20th century or even earlier. Admittedly, not many survived two world wars; those buildings that did are now designated historical monuments.
