Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.

I actually had no childhood. We were occupied by the Nazi. My parents were killed during bombing. I had to go to the orphanage. I studied at different schools, including an “evening” school when I had to work at daytime.

Where did you work? Was your work good? Were you happy with your job?

I had various jobs: at the clothing manufacture, at the state bank, engineer at the construction. I retired in 1987. Work conditions were hard. Was I pleased with my job? Yes, because it solely depended on my efforts.

Tell about your present life.

Today there is no respect for people of the elderly age.

Have you accepted Christ? How long have you been following the Lord?

I believe in Christ since my childhood. I was not raised by my family, but close people taught me faith to believe in the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit.

Tell about one thing your sponsor needs to know about you.

My sponsor definitely needs to know that I was raised with no parents. But the Lord gave me godly people who were taking care of me. It is due to their help I could graduate from the University in Kyiv.
