I remember our house, or rather our half of the house, in Lenin Street. I
had an elder sister named Mary, born in 1931. I remember very well the room
where my parents, my sister and I lived. The room looked large to me. Our
beds were metal; there also was a bureau, a round table and chairs. A
tablecloth with tassels was on the table, and I liked hiding under the
table. Next to our room was Aunt Nadya's room, and there was a small hall
between our rooms. In it there was a window, under which a samovar always
stood. On holidays, the whole family came together around this table with
the samovar.
