Tag #152800 - Interview #101503 (Vladimir Khalfin)

My brother tried to make a career. This was the period of state anti-Semitism and Ukrainian authorities preferred to appoint Ukrainians to higher positions. My brother was an economist at a plant and wanted to get another job at a research institute, at the human resources department. He wasn’t rejected or accepted, but every time he went there they were telling him to come another time. He wasn’t told that he couldn’t be employed due to his Jewish nationality, but it was clear that the reason was there.
