The
woman on the right is Lena's mother, Rita, when her mother was about 16
years old. The man is Lena's uncle and the other woman is the mother of
Lena's cousin, Virginia.
Lena
(wearing the hat) when she was less than one year old with her cousin,
Virginia. The older women are Virginia's mother (holding Lena) and Virginia's
grandmother.
Lena
(on the left) and Virginia with Virginia's grandmother. When Lena was
a child, very few Russians had a camera (and those who did own one, had
to do their own film processing...
...
and printing). Most photos were taken by professionals and/or by the school.
Unfortunately, Lena has very few photos from her childhood days. This
is another one of Lena as a young child.
Lena
is the middle kid in the swing with three children. On her right in the
photo is her cousin, Vladas, and on her left is her cousin, Virginia.
