This is my elder brother Vladimir Bogdanov. This picture was given to my parents by my brother.
The picture was taken in Moscow in 1949.
Vladimir left for Moscow after our brother Syoma. He entered a vocational school and studied to become a turner. He lived in a hostel. He was drafted into the army at the beginning of World War II. He came back to Moscow after the war.
After the war he entered the evening department of the Moscow aviation institute. He worked as an engineer in a design bureau. My brother got married before the war.
His elder daughter Alla was born in 1938, and his younger one, Elena, was born in the post-war period, in 1947.
Vladimir and I weren't as close as I was with my other brother Solomon and we saw each other very rarely. I can hardly say anything about him.
He died in Moscow in 1985 and was buried in the city cemetery.
