Tag #133375 - Interview #83203 (Irina Golbreich )

My parents took a great interest in life in the Soviet Union. My father often listened to radio programs about the Soviet Union and read all relevant newspaper articles. He told Mama and me that the Soviet Union was the country of equality and fraternity, where all ethnic groups, however small they were, had equal rights, and there was no oppression, and that the very idea of the country was in internationalism. These were attractive ideas, and my parents believed in them. I was just a child, and the Soviet Union was like a fairy-tale country where all dreams came true.
