[51067] An extraordinary human story in Zhytomyr: Between working in the morgue and pole dancing

An extraordinary story from Zhytomyr: From the morgue to the dance floor

An intriguing human story comes this week from the city of Zhytomyr in Ukraine, where a paramedic involved in preparing corpses for burial has found an unconventional way to cope with his demanding daily routine. According to reports published on various Telegram channels, the man combines his complex work in the morgue with 'pole dance' training in the evenings.

The original report, originating from 'Суспільне Житомир' (Suspilne Zhytomyr), was widely circulated on Ukrainian social networks. Times of Ukraine, a channel reporting with a clear pro-Ukrainian stance, noted that the worker sees dancing as a way to "reset" after a workday saturated with mental stress.

The news received wide resonance in other channels:

• Всевидящее ОКО, identified with pro-Ukrainian positions, highlighted the extreme contrast between the two worlds of the paramedic.


• Україна Online reported on it briefly under the headline "By day – morgue, by evening – pole".


• Інформаційний фронт provided similar details, citing the local media that exposed the story.

Despite the war-torn and tense background in Ukraine, the story reflects the attempts of citizens to find mental balance and personal resilience in the face of a difficult routine.
