This is a picture of me with my second wife, Inna Pisarenko (née Bogomolnaya) and our son Ruvim. When people began to move to Israel in the 1970s I got very enthusiastic about it. But my first wife didn’t want to come along.

I got married for the second time in 1978. Inna is a Jew. In 1979 Ruvim was born. Inna is much younger than me; she was born in 1956. Perhaps that’s why our marriage didn’t last long. Inna and Ruvim are in Israel now.
