Summary / Abstract (Note)THE MEMOIRS of Ye.P. Palievskaya (1912-2008), written in the 1970s, cover almost 30 years of family history against the backdrop of our national history. Coming from a Russian pre-revolutionary intelligentsia family, she had a trouble-free childhood. Her youth coincided with the first years of Soviet power. Then came war, life under occupation, fascist camps, and, finally, her return to the Motherland. She wrote only for her family. Under the circumstances of the times, she could never even bring up that during the war, she, along with her husband, parents, and four children, had been under occupation and locked up, so she thought up a pseudonym for herself, Vera Ivanovna. Her husband, Vasily Mkhailovich, became Nikolai Ivanovich. Gradually, the more intent she became to tell her story, she put aside her fear and began to write in the first person. We offer the reader several excerpts from these recollections about the trials of a Russian family during the Great Patriotic War. These memoirs are being prepared for publication.
