In despiration to survive, Zina and her parents spent all their life savings to buy an apartment in Salavat. She and her family became very poor so her parents both had 8 hour a day jobs every day, so the family bond slowly depleted. Her dad suggested that Zina should live with her uncle in {Sterlitamak, which was about two hours away from Salavat. From there she would live the rest of her childhood until joining the army at 15 years old.
