After Stalin's death, our lives did not change at once. For many, Stalin's
death was a shock. I remember how it was announced during a class at
school. We sat there for a while, and then somebody suggested, "While we
have no classes, let's share funny stories." I don't remember any special
sorrow around me. I think my parents even sighed with relief.
