Russia.Dagestan. Tebekmakhi, June 2020.
Achmed Yusupchanov and one of his two wives Suleicha Yusupchanova pose for a portrait. Achmed didn't believe in the virus and was still at his work paying every villager the pension where he apparently contracted the virus. Just one month before one of his kidneys was removed. He says the surgery was nothing compared to Covid "It's a very bad disease, I have never experienced something like this."
He still suffers from breathing problems and strong weakness. The nurse still checks temperature every day.
