There were only a few children in our yard. I had a friend Lyonka Kopeikin – we used to fight with him. I remember him well. That’s a thing about our memory – we remember the bad ones and not the good ones. We were about 9 or 10 yeas old then. Our nationality or our parents’ occupation didn’t matter. I studied at school #13 this was Russian school. I went to school when I was eight. I studied for two years in Kirovograd. But somehow I don’t remember anything about that school. I visited this place recently – the school is still there, at the central synagogue’s backyard. I don’t remember anything about my school in Kirovograd, because we moved to Kiev later. Kiev was a huge unfamiliar town to me. And my overwhelming impressions of it erased Kirovograd from my memory. I remember that in Kirovograd I was always attracted by the fire brigade.
