When perestroika [22] began we noticed a change. The Jewish life became more active. There were performances staged after works by Jewish writers and concerts of Jewish music and dances. Before perestroika it wasn’t allowed to correspond with people from capitalist countries and it was impossible to imagine that they could visit or we could travel there. During perestroika this became real. Of course, life has become more difficult. We lost all our little savings. We felt it like many other middle class citizens.
