The "fight against cosmopolitans" touched my cousin David Raygorodetsky
too. After the liberation of Kiev, he was appointed the director of a shoe
factory; he restored it after the war. He was a wonderful director; his
factory was considered one of the best in Ukraine. But early in the 1950s,
he was fired without explanation. It took him a long time to find another
job.
Then he worked for many years at the Consumer Services' Ministry as an
assistant to the chief of the department. He was never appointed director
again for the same reasons, even though his professional level was very
high.
