Olga told journalists why she chose this name for her baby girl. "I thought: what does the world need the most right now? Peace. That's why I decided to give her this name," said the woman. She thought that Mirra [peace] is a rare name but it turned out that it is quite common in Russia and Belarus.
Olga's husband is a border guard and he is on duty now. In September, the family got the keys to a rental home in Lida where new houses were built for border guards. Now the family is settling in step by step. The parents of the spouses live in Minsk, so Olga comes to the city quite often. She herself works in the education sector.
Mirra is the first child in this family. She was born weighing 3,170 g and is 49 cm tall. The couple has plans to have more children.
Speaking about gifts, Olga admitted that she expected a basket for the newborn, but did not even know about the certificate. According to her, this will come in handy, especially since the family did not have time to buy household appliances after they moved in.
