Tag #143146 - Interview #78772 (Abram Kopelovich)

The school I went to was a kind of an elite school. Our Physics teacher was the first person to be awarded the Order of Lenin [14] in Belarus. Our Russian teacher was in the circle of Vladimir Mayakovsky [15]. My friend, Nikolay Tishechkin, became a people's actor of Belarus. I wasn't the only Jew in our class. There were no national issues whatsoever. Everyone was a member of the Komsomol [16], or a pioneer [17]. We visited factories and we had all sorts of interesting field trips. Our life was very nice.
