During the Revolution and the Civil War [2] the family lived through several pogroms [3]. I don't quite know the details of the life of the family during that period, but my mother told me that actually all children tried to leave Gaisin running away from the pogroms.

roman reznikov
Nyusia was a very beautiful girl. It happened so that my mother's younger brother Shoil, born in 1915, fell in love with her. Of course, the family was against their marriage for the reason that Shoil was Nyusia's uncle. But the young people insisted on getting married which they did. Their marriage didn't last long - Nyusia died when giving birth to her first baby.
He worked at the Likhachov Automobile Plant in Moscow. At first he was an apprentice to a mechanic and gradually rose to the post of director of the technical school at this plant.
During the Great Patriotic War [4] he was at the front and had medals and orders for his combat deeds.
Around 1940, when Jewish people were persecuted [during the so-called Great Terror] [5] he was arrested and sentenced to ten years of imprisonment. He spent seven years in a camp near Karaganda [see Gulag] [6]. He returned in 1953 after Stalin died. Shoil was rehabilitated [see Rehabilitation in the Soviet Union] [7]. The authorities returned his party membership card and all his awards. Those years in the camps must have been so horrific that he never told me or his son Gennadiy anything about this period of his life.

In the late 1970s Shoil emigrated to America and died there in 1998.
In Moscow he worked as an accountant assistant in some shop.
His wife Emilia was a cashier in a cinema theater.
His children Efim and Irina emigrated. Efim lives in America and Irina lives in Israel.
The next children in the family were my mother's sister Polya, born in 1898 and her brother Iol, born in 1899. When their parents left Lodz, Polya and Iol refused to go with them for some reason. Before World War II they moved to Australia and then to Israel.
Her husband Isaak Belenkiy was a photographer. Mina had no education and she worked as a cleaning lady, then as a janitor and later as a deactivation assistant.
Mina and Isaak had two sons: Leonid and Semyon. They were both recruited to the army in the first days of the war and perished at the very beginning of the war.
Mina and Isaak were evacuated to Miass, Cheliabinsk region, during the war. The Moscow plant was evacuated there.
Rieva, born in 1910, was married to Boris Rabinovich. He worked as a car tester at a plant. He wasn't recruited to the army and he moved to Miass along with his family. Mina, Rieva and their families stayed in Miass after the war.
My mother's brother Israel Shoov, born in 1908, lived and worked in Moscow. He studied at the Institute of Light Industry and was a recognized specialist in leather goods production. During the war he was in evacuation and later he worked at the research institute and lectured at the Institute of Light Industry in Moscow.

He was married to a very beautiful woman. Her name was Shura. She was a well-known pianist and wanted no children for the sake of her career.

She finished five years of the Jewish school in Gaisin. It was an ordinary elementary school. My mother didn't continue her studies during the Revolution. It was a hard time.
She didn't tell me much about this period in her life. She preferred to forget hardships. I only remember from what she told me that she and her sisters were running away from pogroms from one town to another.
My mother married my father Grigoriy Reznik in 1927.
My grandfather Moisey Reznik, born in 1878, went to a wedding party in Dashev once. He saw my grandmother Maria Scherbo, born in 1881, at this party. She was 14 and my grandfather was 17 years old. Following the Jewish tradition they got engaged. They got married in four years' time and lived in the house of Avrum Scherbo, my grandmother's father, in Dashev. Avrum was a well-to-do merchant. Moisey became his assistant. It was rather common in Jewish families to accept a son-in-law into a family and help him to start his own business.
Moisey's parents Nuhim and Reizl Reznik were poorer than my grandmother's parents. They lived in a small house in the woods in the vicinity of Vinnitsa. Nuhim was an accountant assistant and worked for a timber manufacturer.
Although my grandfather's family wasn't rich, they managed to give their children a good education. Thus, Moisey knew Hebrew, could read the Torah and the Talmud. His sisters got general and musical education. They could play various instruments and were good at music.
I graduated from university in 1953. My specialty was the history of philosophy. I was sent to Zhytomyr. There I had an interview at the regional party committee. My profession was related to ideology and I wasn't a party member. I was a Komsomol member and I had to obtain approval of the regional party committee to get a job. For the first time there I heard how they were discussing my documents behind closed doors. The head of the propaganda department was yelling how it was possible to approve a Jew for this kind of work. I couldn't get a job for a few weeks and then finally I was appointed as a lecturer with the Znaniye [Knowledge] association. [Editor's note: an organization that was arranging lectures on various subjects at schools, factories, enterprises, etc.] I was to give lectures to workers advocating communism and the Soviet way of life, the most progressive in the world. I lived in Zhytomyr for four years. I was an active Komsomol member. I was even elected as a member of the Komsomol district committee bureau. I submitted my documents to become a party member but I was refused for some ridiculous reasons. There was only one real reason - that I was a Jew.
I returned to Kiev in 1957. It was impossible for a Jew to find a job in his qualified field. Frankly speaking, I didn't even try. I was a good sportsman; I was good at track and field sports. I got a job as a PE instructor at a technical construction school. Then I finished the trade union high school - I was an extramural student - and became trade union unit chairman. At this time I easily became a party member. I worked as a sociologist with the Poligraphbook association for several years before I retired.
Then I organized and acted as the director of the Radyanskiy district charity fund called Renaissance. We provided assistance to needy families, elderly people and families with many children. To get the funds I addressed different authorities, private companies and businessmen. I wrote letters abroad requesting help and received assistance from the Jewish communities in Boston, Philadelphia, USA. Our fund provided assistance to all people regardless of their nationality. The Renaissance Fund existed for ten years. I can't work any more; I'm retired and receive my pension.
I've been married twice. I got married before my graduation from university in 1953. My first wife was a Jew, Ida Leonidovna Bloomstein, and she was an engineer. We lived together for 17 yeas but our marriage didn't work out. I don't want to recall her or speak about her. We got divorced.
Our son Vladimir Reznikov was born in 1961. He finished dentistry school. He worked as a dentist assistant.
After he returned from the army he got married and moved to the USA in 1988.
He worked at a restaurant there and then as a cab driver and studied at the same time. He first studied at Chicago Medical University and then as a post-graduate student. He has his own practice now and he is a successful psychoanalyst.
My second wife is Russian.
