The house was on the bank of the river Terek, from the windows you could even see Kazbek [a large mountain range in the Caucasus]. Grandmother’s house was one-storied, in Gorky Street, which was perpendicular to our street, we lived in Lenin Street. Grandmother had three rooms. One was for visitors, the second one – for children, and the third – for my adult aunts. In general, everyone lived together in that small one-storied house. Grandmother was very tidy and never hired anybody to help her around the house, just she and her children kept the household. She taught us tidiness very early. I remember she taught us from the age of eleven to maintain the cleanliness.
