You say that you remember Minsk very well. What did it look like when you saw it?
Minsk was in ruins. There were even dugouts in Minsk. And there were a lot of legless people in wheelchairs, and these people begged, but we… at that time small change was money, our mother gave my sister and me some money, there was such a bun, we called it «shaibochka», such a round one, it cost 2 kopecks, and I didn’t spend these 2 kopecks on buns, I collected money in order to give everybody for a bun of 2 kopecks when we went to Minsk once again (later they were begging in Borisov, too). And I always gave them some money.
