Tag #115856 - Interview #100553 (Boris Shteinas)

worked only for a year and in 1952 I was drafted in the army. During my work at the plant, there were people who offered recruitment at KGB. [14]. I dreamt of the military jacket and found military service very romantic, but father was flatly against my working in state security and had me give my word that I would never join militia or KGB. When I was in the army I was enrolled in sergeant school, and after that I was assigned in aviation in aerodrome maintenance. I worked with radars. Then I was transferred to Kovel. I had business trips to other towns, for instance in Saratov. I got along with my colleagues. I even thought of extended army service.
