Lidia lives in the village of Sukhobuzimskoe; she works for the department of statistics.
Nina lives in Krasnoyarsk. Ivan lived in Kazakhstan for a long time, but then emigrated to Germany.
Like all Germans they were deported from the Volga Region. They had to appear for registration and periodic check with the commandant’s office until 1956 .
They were deported in accordane with a defined „distribution system“. The parents had to go in freight cars, which usually served to transport cattle..
When they came to Siberia, they did not understand Russian; they only learned the language on the spot.
The children of the locals threw stones at us, they humiliated, insulted and mocked us, they called us „fascists“.
Some time later we removed to Nowoselovsk District, but then returned to Sukhobuzimo.
Grandmother spent three years of her life in prison: during the harvest she had stolen 5 kgs of grains in order to feed her family.
I would like to have a better education and also wish that our conditions of life would improve.
