Moisei Paskov, Alexander Paskov's father, with his brother and cousin

In this photograph, my father, Moisei Paskov is standing to the left;
sitting next to him on a chair is his twin-brother Mark Paskov;
standing and leaning on the column to the right of Mark
is a cousin on their mother's side, Adolf Velkovski.

All three were born in 1906 in Starodub and are students in this photograph.
My father and his brother left for Leningrad in 1924.

After graduating from higher education, each worked in his field:
father was a technical planner in the field of metallurgy,
Mark was a casting engineer, and Adolf was a building engineer.
