Beggars, most likely. I think we lived in a good country then. I even miss it sometimes.

I would have been a noblewoman: I had some ancestors who emigrated to France during the revolution, maybe I would have gone to France, and if not for the revolution I would have stayed here:

You would have worked in the vegetable garden for the Americans or the Japanese who were interventionists and were waiting for the collapse of an empire that would have collapsed anyway.

they had not had to flee to Kazakhstan, my grandparents would not have met and I would not be in the end either, so let's not dream. History doesn't allow for subjunctive moods.

Irochka! And how many peasant women have married well? Like P. Zhemchugova, for instance? Have you thought about that?

It's hard to say. The empire was in such a state then that the collapse was inevitable. The same goes for the USSR. Another thing is that here are the people who most likely were children during the years of the USSR and therefore are singing by hearsay. Or they live better now than then. Well that is to each his own. Just then there was at least some faith in a better life, naive but still, and now you don't know how it all ends.

Fist. My grandfather hated soviet power all his life. When they brought him a pension he always spat and said that his father's peasants received more, but at that time his pension was the highest - 130 rubles. His family owned a village and a large estate in the Kuban somewhere in the vicinity of Krasnoarmeyskaya village in Krasnodar Territory. During nationalization all men - there were 8 brothers and my great grandfather's father were shot except my grandfather - he was 15 years old at the time he was hidden by a family of peasants who worked for them in front of my mother and sisters. Then my grandfather was found and exiled to the Far East together with the family who had hidden him.
