Introducing a new format for our channel — an interview we call “The Spark of Hartamann.” In this episode, Yuri, a person with Bechterew’s disease, shares his story and the inspiration he found in the candid film by Oscar Hartamann, who also lives with this diagnosis. Oscar’s story lit a spark of hope in Yuri and gave him the strength to move on, despite all the difficulties. Yuri is interviewed by a specialist from our Interregional Public Charitable Organization for the Disabled “Society for Mutual Assistance in Bechterew’s Disease and Other Rheumatic Diseases,” Anatoly Demidenko — a social worker, psychologist, and a person with Bechterew’s disease who, like Yuri, has gone through trials and tribulations and now helps others. This dialogue, full of understanding and sincerity, can become as important a reference point for you or your loved ones as Oscar’s film was for Yuri. Support our initiative: share this video, help spread information about life with Bechterew’s disease.
