Ukrainian "Babushka" (Grandmother)

The Ukrainian Babushka (Grandmother). Most (if not all) of them are pensioner, but still you'll see them working on the streets as street sweepers, selling sunflower seeds, cleaning buildings, and other works (mostly hard works) that most adults don't want to do.

Their monthly pension leaves them not much to feed themselves. Especially if they have to pay their rent. So, instead of staying in the house at their old age, you'll see them working instead. Some goes to the streets or bazaars begging.

Ukrainian government doesn't have a home of the aged or old people. Not on their priority list I guess.
