Tag #153292 - Interview #94182 (Rachil Lemberg)

When perestroika 22 began in the USSR I was a pensioner. I didn’t care that much. I never cared about politics. However, I noted the changes. Newspapers and magazines began to publish information that one could only hear on foreign radio before. They also began to publish books by authors who were not allowed in the former USSR like Alexandr Solzhenitsyn 23. Anti-Semitism mitigated.  USSR residents were allowed to travel abroad and correspond with their relatives and friends living abroad. One couldn’t imagine it might be possible before.
