Tag #156000 - Interview #94776 (Grigoriy Stelmakh)

My father married a Russian girl, his comrade, in Tarascha village of Kiev region in 1933. I don’t know her name. He didn’t even tell his parents about his marriage since his marrying a Russian girl would have been a reason for another conflict with his parents. My father’s wife died at childbirth, and grandfather Abram and grandmother Yenta took little Raya to raise her forgetting their resentment. She lived with my grandparents for about a year. After my father married my mother the girl came to live with them.
