Mr. Rankin. Did you conclude that you could not get a job that would pay you enough to live in your own apartment in Leningrad, then?
Mrs. Oswald. If I had an apartment in Leningrad. I would have had to work overtime hours in order to be able to pay for it, because the normal workday is only 6½ hours, because they consider that to be hazardous work.
Mr. Rankin. Did you have a social life while you were in Leningrad?
Mrs. Oswald. What do you mean by social life?
Mr. Rankin. Did you have friends that you went out with in the evening, pleasant times?
Mrs. Oswald. An awful lot.
Mr. Rankin. So that except for the problem of your stepfather, you enjoyed it there?
Mrs. Oswald. Oh, yes, of course.
Mr. Rankin. Did you have any vacations while you were in Leningrad?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes. After working in Minsk for one year I received a vacation and went to a rest home near Leningrad.
