Tag #152799 - Interview #101503 (Vladimir Khalfin)

After ХХ Congress of the Communist Party 9 I believed that life might turn to better if they took the risk of denunciation the cult of Stalin, but I was wrong again. Since then I never took any interest in politics. Somehow I didn’t quite like the institution of this state since it only created problems for people. I didn’t even try to find a better job or to get promotion since I didn’t believe anything. I didn’t believe that a decent person could have a decent life in this country and I knew that I couldn’t lie to take advantage of things, so why try? I lived a quiet life and I didn’t become rich, but I went to bed with clear conscience and didn’t trade my principles. Other people that had higher position were worried about it and had to face intrigues and lies, but since I was just a shoemaker there were no problems that I might possibly have in this respect.
