Good evening Elvira, all your videos are marvelous but in this one you have really surpassed yourself, absolutely brilliant, you are a great historian and you are willing to share personal stories of your family's past. I was glued to it and focused on every word. You explained the collective trauma in a most coherent way. Previously I tried to respond and describe Ireland to you. Maybe it's becuase of my lack of ability with words or my closeness to the situation but at the time words failed me. This video has enabled me to speak a little, what resonated with me was the fearfullness and betrayed you mentioned about the gulag system. To a lesser degree this is a feature of Ireland, looking over your shoulder, not trusting, clever moves over minor issues, this is part of culture of Ireland, it is oppressive but understandable given our history of domination by Britain. To finish I just want to say that in the world of Utube videos, you are at the top, culturally, intellectually and spiritually, thank you ❤

Really enjoyed this video, reminds me of Ireland in the 80,s, we tried anything, to this day I love markets and workshops and tools. My uncle was a cabinet maker, marvelous craftsman, all hand tools, he served a 7 year apprenticeship. He had a workshop in the city here, Waterford. It was an old stone building behind the lovely tall town houses. The thick stone walls made it cool in summer, warm in winter. I used to go to visit him, he worked in almost complete silence, such skill, I remember the smell of the red deal shavings, you would almost be dizzy with the aroma. I used to sit and watch him, he was a man of few words, as all top craftsmen he couldn't explain how he done it, occasionally I would ask a question, he would pause and think, then a short answer, I might not understand fully until later when I contemplated it more closely. Sometimes he would sit and take a break, then he would recount stories of the old times, his apprenticeship, he told of the older craftsmen who taught him, their strictness and diligence to their task. To the very end he carried the training and values of his craft with him, do the job as best you can , no waste, perfection. The sé were Victorian values which pervaded society here generally up till quite recently. Alas Ireland has now changed irrevocably, a whole other topic. I look back at the 80,s as good times, even though we had nothing. There was freedom and Ireland had a unique easygoing atmosphere. Maybe it's just nostalgia but I really do think that with all the so called progress, we have somehow lost more than we have gained. "To see a World in a Grain of Sand and a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the Palm of your Hand, and Iternity in an Hour". I had heard of the mafia in the Soviet union after the break up but didn't realise it was so widespread. Only when you hear first hand accounts, like yours about your Dad, do you get a true picture of a time and place.
