Tag #118920 - Interview #91238 (Judel Ronder)

Selected text
I should say that state anti-Semitist campaign, deployed in late 1940s [Campaign against ‘cosmopolitans’] [17] and in early 1950s [Doctors’ Plot] [18] was not as active in Lithuania as in any other part of Russia. I was not affected by it in any way. Of course, it was repulsive to read and listen to about doctors poisoners and I took it hard. I was glad when Stalin died. I thought him to be a tyrant at that time. My attitude to Stalin added up antagonism in the relationship with my wife.
