Tag #149307 - Interview #78078 (leonid rozenfeld)

Maria couldn't find a job for a long time. This was the period of the campaign against cosmopolitans [27] when Jews couldn't get a job or keep their previous employment. We were lucky in our institute. Our director Vassili Lukianchenko, a Ukrainian man, was very positive about having Jewish employees. He didn't care about nationality, but valued performance and personality. Many Jews were promoted in our institute, but such attitude was rare in those years.
