A retro computer museum in Mariupol beloved by children was attacked by Russia
"It's been a hobby of my life," said the owner of the retro computer collection that was hit by a Russian attack in the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol.
Nearly two decades ago, Dmitriy Cherepanov started a collection of retro computers in Mariupol, Ukraine, that grew into an internationally-known assemblage of historic machines, housed in a private museum he called IT 8-bit.
Russia's campaign to take over his city in southeast Ukraine has killed at least 2,000 civilians, destroyed most of the city's homes and turned Cherepanov's beloved computer museum into rubble.
"I'm very upset," Cherepanov, 45, told NPR. "It's been a hobby of my life."
