Tag #144909 - Interview #83342 (Valentina Fidelman)

Uncle Ruvim, my father’s brother, came to visit Grandmother Tamara in Vladikavkaz; he lived in Leningrad. My uncle received a military education, was at the front, and when he arrived on leave in Leningrad he was killed at the railway station. It was in 1942. A bomb exploded there. I think it was at the Moscow railway station, but I can’t say for sure. That’s how he died. He was a military, wore those strips, there were no shoulder straps then. He was a senior lieutenant.
