I was engaged in journalism, but because of the work in the “bodies” was forced to quit and, between ourselves, I am very sorry”.

Then, the alleged “secret”: “I got the bosses closing Your case, giving at your own risk swear that You reconsider your views...
All this, of course, from first to last was pure water “headdress, but reached a certain goal. The mother, being a natural person too fond (minus the greenhouse education), stopped visiting Professor of Pinsk and tried to follow the standard line of the Soviet writer. Moreover, hid her contact with the KGB and the parents, and her husband, that is “to open her eyes” was none.
Started some wretched seminars for young writers, a trip to the “house of art”, the “party” in the Central house of writers, attempts to establish relations with officials from the art - Agnia Barto, Anatoly Alexina... Nabout all this was a waste of time and effort, because this is something to it, and cheated, and the title of the Soviet writer (let's publications and fees) so assigned. 
Interestingly, in memory of the mother and father changed cause and effect - that is rejection of the “brethren of the pen” they considered the root cause of the ban on poetry ina Zagraevsky. Date crushing Assembly in publishing gradually forgotten, and it was considered that all this was the year that way in 1972, there seems to be discontent successful “baby” the poet gradually matured, and then splashed out...
But in fact, based on the undisputed memory Inna Mikhailovna that these meetings passed, when preparing for printing the book “Happy skier”, released in 1969, it is possible to make a clear conclusion: the poet Zagraevsky from the literature kicked immediately after the “Czechoslovak events”, that is, by command of the KGB. And whose hands - by and large, unprincipled.
Well that Zagraevsky docent at least from the chemistry Department is not expelled. The mother still naively believes that its “covered” by the rector of the Institute of Textile Martynov, with whom they once shared was in the Komsomol Committee, but it is also unlikely - if the KGB seriously something decided, no rector would not help. Apparently, simply chose not to “corner”: Inna Zagraevsky were all prerequisites to become an activist advocacy, and if it were completely deprived of work, perhaps it any other way would not have left.
But the Union of Writers of the mother in the Soviet time and was not allowed, and eventually she became a member of this organization only in 1994, when it has no one been necessary, and above all to herself. And the unions of writers at that time was a few, do not even know in which of them is my mother.
The time has come hard and some “viscous”.
The Jews since 1974 became the masses to leave the country - in order to reduce the intensity of emotions, most willing to open the exit, and the others were quietly “press”. And the way to higher education institutions were closed and to work in “good” did not take place... And then, and another has taken place with some exceptions, but they were few.
From our family to leave no one wanted. Convinced that “the Zionists” and “anti-Soviet” Moses Averbach was no less a patriot of Russia, than Communist Mikhail N. Zagraevsky. And the mother and father would never have the parents did not leave.
Life went on. In 1973 the family “took off” and bought the “Moskvich-408” mustard colors. I also had them to “steer” - he served faithfully” all the way until 1988. However, at the end of sprawl just on the go...
The mother of another “Zaporozhets” learned well led, and “Moskvich” after it seemed a miracle of science and technology. No joke, after 27 horsepower - 50! After a maximum of 80 km/h - 130! Steep rises to Abramtzevo we stopped noticing. And then in Mytishchi and hotkovo instead crossings built overpasses, and the road to the country turned into a pleasure.
Well, of course, about the “continuous” said strongly, in the heat engine is constantly overheated and failed - the fuel pump was located too close to the cylinder block. This happened with all the “Muscovites” a similar model, but in the Soviet time such a “trifle” little worried about the plants, Yes, and people perceived as merely one of the links in a continuous chain of household problems.
It is curious that I remember from childhood terrible traffic jams in Moscow, despite the factthat cars were on the order less, than now. Apparently, the traffic was also an order of magnitude worse...
Try to think of any more “special features” relative material prosperity of our family in the mid-seventies, but something goes wrong. Ah, Yes, on the way to giving my mother and grandmother sometimes dined in the restaurant “Skazka”.
However, I did not love either then or now, and material well-being of that time did not last long.
Years in forty Inna decided (fortunately, mistakenly, that “filled up” as a poet, and began to write plays. A play-it came not only through the Union of writers, and through the Union of theatrical figures!
Mother joined the trade Union Committee of the Moscow drama, play somewhere printed somewhere was going to put it, and she made a stunning act: in 1978 threw chemistry, leaving the post of associate Professor at the Moscow Textile Institute. However, provisions for pensions experience it to curry favor, but to receive it could only 55 years, that is from 1988.
How is it “took” chemistry, she went to the deliberate reduction “standard of living”! Father was something of a “Deputy head of the restoration Department,” that is received, as I remember, two hundred rubles per month. I was fourteen years old, I was not earning money and in the foreseeable future is not going to.
Hopes for a “theater” earnings were ephemeral - no offense be told, plays the mother of Moscenicka. Specifically, the deep subconscious background, they could play an actor of genius, but those of their dramatists enough. “Medium” actors inevitably turns any play of the mother in hopelessly boring. Two of her plays for puppet theater put somewhere in Ukraine, and that was all.
The mother a year later occurred to return to the chemistry, but changed his mind. Instead, she went to the course guide, but encounter debility memorizing routes and at least debility of their content. No, it was beautiful and routes - for example, in the Vologda, but Inna Mikhailovna for overly creative approach to the approved texts tour route was given at the Cherepovets (city, famous for its steel plant and nothing more).
In the end, the only thing that she has made these courses - new play, this time autobiographical.
For some time she worked... the newspaper boy in the mail. More precisely, usually spreading the Newspapers father, for it had to be done in six or seven o'clock in the morning, and the mother was physically unable to get up so early. A couple of times and I “honored” to put in boxes Newspapers. Lasted this epic two weeks, and then we realized that this “job” is not for us.
Prior to the underground character of work in the boiler house - the mother still has not reached. Rescued stopwatchdisplay pensions of all grandparents, let's finally a decent enough consolidated the family budget. It looked as follows: to buy something at the amount of more than ten rubles indulged “subscription list”, and if someone or grandparents saw the purchase expedient, it is included in the share.
And, fortunately, my mother and grandmother both were fed. Father almost all the money was given to the mother, but in the “feeding” is not needed, because, unlike her and I was able to have a penny stuff jelly type, udder and soup bones.
However, were in the care of Inna Mikhailovna Department and the pros. Sharp reduction of loads allowed her to improve health and more time communicating with her family, including me.
And the money - on, things were missing, and right.
I remember how we came to my mother's friends from Germany, Hannhen and Otto. Together we went to the store and I liked the kind of toy type “harmonica”. Dear Mr. Otto immediately offered me 10 (ten) rubles, so I bought it. How much is it really worth it, I don't remember, but to me right there in the store, became hysterical that a lot of money and I never take them.
Poor Germans felt doubly embarrassing because the day before they were trying to pay us for “accommodation”, and did not speak German father grabbed the dictionary and use it explained that “we are proud of”, and managed, despite flipping dictionary, make it very solemnly. Sight, I believe, for Germans it was unforgettable.
Germany occupies in the life of our family special place. The mother at the time of the “iron curtain” was contrived there from time to travel due to the fact that in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) children lived grandmother's older brother, Nikolai Viktorovich Petrovsky.
How they got there is a separate story.
