We came here (to Berezovka) to visit our relatives. And the parents started to persuade, so they persuaded us, told us. So me and Andrei (my son) stayed here, he (husband) went back to the Urals. So we couldn’t agree again because we were from the city, and there was a village here. We didn’t have anything here but we lived in that flat – the windows faced the toilet and that’s it, only some neighbors passed by the house during the day and that’s it. It was such unsociableness for me, so that I couldn’t stand it anymore. The tears were running but at the same time I knew that it was difficult to live there. At that time (I have already recollected it a couple of days ago) at that time when our meat was priced 50 copecks, at the Urals it cost three or four rubles. When I came back from the market, my mother-in-law told me «Well, you mustn’t go to the market», because if you ran there you would buy something but sometimes you came back without anything. You had to spend some time in order to find a preserved fish, sprats in tomato sauce, you could buy it somewhere.
