Born in Gomel USSR Belorussian republic during the Communist regime I know little about freedom

We were taught to comply and worship the government

A few times a year on Soviet holidays people would march in parades through the main city square named Vlabimir Lenin

They carrying soviet flags and paly patriotic songs

I belived that our country the best in the world

I feel happy

September 1 1967

My mama dressed me and put my hair up with white bows and a large bouquite  of gladiolouis flowers spike for my theacher

When we arrive to school #19 we search the board to find my name and the class roster A,B,C,D do i belong

We find out that I belong to class c with a theacher name Tixon Efimovich

When my mom saw his name she immediatly took me home and return to school on her own to speak to the principal

Normally mama very light speaking in public , but this time she had explain why this theacher was unsuitable chouise for her dauther

It well know in our town that mr. Tixon Efimovich and his family support german movement agents jews and others.

Next day I join class B that lead by ms Ekaterina Nikolaevna  Danilova.
