Tag #128399 - Interview #83846 (Rozalia Akselrod)

In 1953, Stalin died. We cried very sincerely. I worked at the Institute of Doctors’ Advanced Training. I heard the news of Stalin’s death on the radio and my first thought was, ‘What is going to happen to us?’ Not to us as Jews, but to us all, the Soviet nation? We cried a lot. Later, when Khrushchev [23] unmasked Stalin’s cult, when we learned about the crimes of our authorities, my worldview began to change.
