We moved to Kiev in 1925. My father got a job at a firm there, and we settled down in Pushkinskaya street. An acquaintance from Uman lived there in a three room apartment. At that time they started restricting living standards, and the authorities took away one of his rooms. He wanted to keep the second room so he put our family in it.
The four of us shared one big room. Grandfather Tsale lived with us. He was a big help to mamma, as she had a series of heart attacks. Grandfather and father often argued over politics. Grandfather was religious, and he didn’t like the new political system. Ad my father, of course, stood up for everything new.
