Raissa Makarevich’s husband Sokolianskiy Semyon in the Red Army

Report an issue

My husband, Semyon Sokolianskiy, is first on the right in the first row. This was taken during his time serving in the Red Army in 1927.

My husband had finished his service in the army and graduated from the Institute of Trade. He was the director of a store. We didn’t have a big wedding. We just had a festive dinner. Although my parents insisted on a religious wedding, we didn’t have any religious rituals. We didn’t even want to hear about it, as I was a Komsomol member and my husband was a Party member.
