- pwaai 9y agoI'm missing information on what being a Jew in USSR entails so I concede that they may not have been part of the elite (I thought working for USSR propaganda machine would put you far ahead of the pack). I just thought being able to afford a commodore 64 back then already put you well ahead of the curve, in the 80s, but again this was after they arrived in the US, not much info on this.
