Grandma told me.

She was one of six children in the family, they lived in Alexandrov. It was in the late 1930s. Their mother, my great-grandmother, sent two children (my grandmother and little Valu) to the church on Easter, giving them 3 rubles and ordering them to put them in a box for donations.

Valya, who, by the way, was very carnivorous, immediately began to persuade his sister to buy ice cream.

and KLAVA! Let’s get married!

No money for ice cream.

So I wore it all the way. In the church, Clava gave her brother a paper, showing where to put it.

On the way back again:

and KLAVA! Let’s get married!

There is no money.

And here is! He shows a paper.

You are what? ! to I told him to put it in the box.

I took the 5th, I took the 5th!
