Thank you for sharing. A computer operator back then could have been working with the space program, either way thats a pretty cool and important job. So to understand correctly, your family was swept out of a tough rural life and lived a better life with more opportunities within the block? They did not resent the living conditions? Was there ever a time where they wanted more, and did any of them live to see the wall collapse?

My statement more aimed at satalite nations of the USSR and not russia itself, but I love history, and personal lived history is my favorite, so really appreciate you sharing yours!
