Frida Zimanene reading a report in the Revolution Museum

This is me in the Revolution Museum, where I used to work. I am taking the floor with the report on the activity of the museum. I am surrounded by the members of the governmental commission who came for a meeting. I don’t know their names. The picture was taken in Vilnius in the 1960s.

My husband insisted that I should get a university education. I was eager to do that myself. I entered the Teachers’ Training Institute. I was good at my studies as I had a lot of spare time. Upon graduation from the institute, I started working as a teacher in the higher party school for middle-tier directors. I worked there for 20 years. Then I was deputy director of the Revolution Museum. Of course, I got both my jobs only thanks to my husband. He was known, respected and had no problems with employment.
