Mrs. Voshinin. Exactly.

Mr. Jenner. He would walk into your home without invitation?

Mrs. Voshinin. Right. He was that way.

Mr. Davis. Sort of a beatnik?

Mrs. Voshinin. Well, no; not beatnik—but he was definitely nonconformist. He would just love to do exactly what people would, you know, object to.

Mr. Jenner. He was not sensitive to the feelings of others?

Mrs. Voshinin. Not at all. I believe that sometimes he definitely enjoyed in teasing people in his own way. He used to—in any way. For example, if people are not politically inclined, he would shock them with some statement about a free marriage, you know. If they are politically inclined, it would depend on who they are. The conservative, he would shock with communism, you know; the Jewish people, he would shock by praising nazism, you know.

He was that type of person, you know, really, they were like children in that respect—honestly. And what the trouble is with George and Jeanne, both of them, I think, their main trouble is their extreme bitterness—extreme bitterness, I believe which goes back to their former life.

Mr. Jenner. Bitterness?

Mrs. Voshinin. Toward life, toward people, toward—you know, they thought, for example, that almost everybody's a bigot. For example, Igor and I were bigots because we went to church. You know, that sort of thing. And so and so on.
