During the Second World War, to escape the Germans, the family fled
east in evacuation. Grandfather took with him grandmother, his oldest
daughter (i.e. my mother), my brother and me. We lived in evacuation in
Krasnokamsky region of Bashkiria. There, grandfather worked as a watchman
on a collective farm since mother as a veterinary doctor was not in the
position to earn enough money on her own to feed the family.
