Dear Marianna
I apologize from the bottom of my heart if I have unintentionally hurt your
or anybody's else feelings. I'm more than aware of the hardship of life that
the simple citizens have to face in former SSSR. I was born there before it
became SSSR and went through all the regimes of pro and post WW2 (Including
the deportation to Transnistria, and escaping a very acute danger of being
deported to Siberia because my father was registered by the NKVD as a
"Burjuy"). Bukovina is not Russia, and even now after all the years of
Soviet Regime, and Ukrainian sovereignty it is the western tip of Zapatna
Ukrayna - a very interesting mixture of religions, cultures, languages, and
mentalities. During my short stay in Chernivtsi I had the opportunity to be
in near contact with only three people whom I allow myself to mention - Mrs.
Zorema(Zoya) Danylowych, Mr. Alexander(Sasha) Vasyuk, and Mr. Yury
Prestupenko, all three of them - warm hearted, easy going persons (well
educated with academic degrees) that made me feel at ease. Because I have to
mention that I have "very unpleasant" memories from my past with some of the
Ukrainian people. I have not meant to criticize anybody, because I have the
experience of living under the same conditions. All I meant (without talking
in slogans) was to transfer simple "down to earth" information.
