This is a picture of Grisha Zlochevskiy and Ukkah Zlochevskaya, the younger sister and brother of my mother Rivka Deitch. The photo was made in Cherkassy in the late 1910s.
My grandparents on my mother's side had seven children. They received secular education and weren't religious. Ukkah and Grisha were born at the beginning of the 1900s. After the Revolution of 1917 they became fond of revolutionary ideas and the equality and brotherhood of all people. They were involved in the Civil War [1918-1921] and perished at the beginning of the 1920s.
Naomi Deich's uncle Grisha Zlochevskiy and her aunt aunt Ukkah Zlochevskaya
