Moshe Burla with his partner Valia and her son

This photograph was taken when I was in Kamensk Uralski and it shows me and my partner Valia with her son on an excursion at the river. 

Valia and I didn’t have an official wedding. We just invited a few friends, when we were still in Israel, and we didn’t have a formal wedding. We went to her mother’s and her younger sister. She loved all of them, except one younger brother, who was a former airman with the air force services in Russia. This is where he got his pension from and with the money he got some land close to some natural springs of Russia. And he wasted his life trying to enlarge this patch of land that he had bought. At the beginning it was small. When I met him, he was living there with his wife. 

We stayed in Russia for 22 years.
