...Petrov's face in your picture looked strangely familiar to me. I compared it with the photo my brother sent me of his wife Evdokia and himself (prior to his disappearance), and I was almost sure that my brother's wife Evdokia and Mrs. Petrov were the same person. After that, I got a copy of their book and, true enough, Evdokia in her autobiography describes in detail her life with my brother, and the tragic fate that befell him after his arrest and imprisonment by the State Security Police in Moscow in 1937.
