develop your own theater company. Practical, not about ideology. Europeans living
in Asian lands. Begin to be seen by local pops not so much as Js, but as Russian
Euros, came to our autonomous republics and have taken over in work place, SU
admin. Begins to become a larger issue for local pops, esp when SU begins to
decline 1980s. White, represent SU, colonial power. Js from these areas disprop from

Lev Ovshchitza b Moscow, studied elite engineering school, air force academy,
navigator in defense of Moscow. Wounded Stalingrad, fights all the way to Berlin.
Squadron commander, political officer. Believed Stalin was guiding country in right
direction, even though J soldier was not awarded, even though at least if not more

not as bad as Leningrad, family ok. Postmodern fertility rates economic reasons.
