Faina Gheller’s cousins Boris and Mirah Zalivanskiy

My cousins Boris and Mirah Zalivanskiy.

This photo was taken in Tambov, date unknown.

My father's brother Isaac Zalivanski (during the Civil War he changed his surname to Zelvianski for more common pronunciation) was born in Grodno in 1903. During the Civil War he was in the Red Army.

He was a communist and a Party official. He had a number of jobs. He had two children: his daughter Mirah Nosovich, nee Zalivanskaya, and son Boris Zalivanski who works as chief doctor in Lipetsk [about 400 km from Moscow].

We didn't have contacts with them. Isaac died in Tambov [450 km from Moscow] in 1986.
