‘Struggle against cosmopolites’ [23] didn’t have any impact on us. We were miserably poor. However, there was a search in my grandfather’s apartment one day n 1948. I was at work. They took away my grandfather’s furs. Those KGB officers probably knew that my father perished at the front. They saw how poor we were, so they put the best furs under my sister on the bed and told her to sit on the pillows. So it was. Even they felt sorry for us and left a portion of what they found during the search for us to be able to buy food after they left.
