We lived relatively close to downtown Kiev. We lived in a communal apartment [12], which consisted of seven rooms. Russians, Karaims [13] and a Jewish family lived in that apartment. We had two rooms in that communal apartment. We were great friends with our Jewish neighbors. They all spoke Russian, as well as everyone in our family. And with the rest of the neighbors we were on normal terms and there was no animosity or fights, at least, I don’t recall any. I was raised at home and played with children in the yard. I don’t remember any manifestations of anti-Semitism at that time.
