Tag #145160 - Interview #96838 (Igor Brover)

There was a mandatory two-year period of work requirement after finishing vocational schools [10]. After two years of work at the plant I was recruited to the Navy in 1955. At first I served in a training military unit in Lomonosov near Leningrad and then I served on a ship in Severomorsk. I didn't have any nationality-related problems in the army, basically. I was physically strong and had independent character. Besides, I was Komsomol  [11] unit leader of the ship. Of course, there might have been intrigues behind the curtains, but they had nothing to do with me.
