In the spring of 2003, Moscow surgeons separated two Siamese twins, Zita and Gita Rezakhanov. Two girls from a tiny Kyrgyz village lived together from birth: they had a common bladder, fused intestines and three legs for two. Doctors helped the Siamese twins to find a new life, but the girl's happiness was never achieved. The separated sisters had to go through severe depressive episodes and accept that they would never be able to start a family and have children. Neither of them was ready to lose each other, but in 2015, Zita died at the age of 24.
