Rimma Rozenberg

This is me, Rimma Rozenberg. My husband took this photo in 1967, during our trip to the Caucasus. There is a monument to a Caucasian poet in the background. I traveled to Moscow and Leningrad every year looking for artistic impressions, visiting theaters and exhibitions. I went on my first tour abroad in 1960. It was in Czechoslovakia. We walked around Prague at night singing songs loudly. A policeman stopped us very politely and said, ?You know, it's nighttime and people are asleep. It's not a proper thing to do.? There was a very good attitude toward us. This was before the Prague events. I traveled there alone. I wasn't allowed to travel with my husband. Ilia and I spent vacations traveling across the country. We visited Georgia and Armenia. Near the Elbrus Mountains my husband and I climbed some minor mountains. I climbed up easily, but I absolutely couldn't climb down and my husband had to drag me down, but this didn't mitigate my enthusiasm at all. We always had a camera with us.
