HOME
This is the simple, sincere story of a senfor Sergeant in the Soviet Army, stationed in Germany,
who returned home on leave in 1947, for the first time in five years. He describes the changes he found in the life of his village, how his mother fived on a starvation diet of potatoes, pickled cabbage and salted cucumber, and the miserable conditions of the half-starved, overworked men and women on his collective form.
Embittered and disillusioned he plotted his escape to the West when he returned to his unit, and in 1949 fled to the United States zone of Germany.
This article first appeared in Posey, a Russian- language newspaper for Russian emigres in Western Germany.
