My parents and my brother moved to Shepetovka [today Ukraine, 250 km west of Kiev] in 1940. I joined them after finishing the eighth grade of school in Rogachyov. We lived in the military settlement. Our garrison was located at the former frontier of the USSR, which, after the annexation of Western Ukraine in September 1939 [17], was shifted to the west. There were 30 four-story brick buildings in the town, where soldiers and military families lived. There was a voentorg and a standard store, a movie-theater, the Red Army House for public and cultural performances.
