Adaptation to the Past

By Lazar J. Trubman

Yuri Marian had a decent life. He strongly believed that if you obey the laws and live quietly with your head in sand, you might survive big storms and small ones in the suffocating environment of a lawless country, but soon understood the hopelessness of his beliefs. Life began teaching him a lesson. He went to Moscow to meet some old college friends. When later he was invited by a KGB major for a chat, it was too late to change anything. He simply wasnt ready, couldnt fight the System: fear was the way of life for millions. It became suddenly very clear: they never had any rights; were never considered human beings. From that moment on, life became hell, filled with beatings, arrests, humiliations. He had to tell his wife Tatyana about the trip to Moscow - and not to attend a seminar as she was told before. She suffered more than he did - a lot more, but on December 4th, as promised by the authorities, the Marians family had finally left the country . . . at a price Yuri could never imagine.
