Mr. Jenner. They were unreligious people?
Mrs. Voshinin. Yes, sir; they were actually fighting atheists.
Mr. Jenner. They were aggressive atheists?
Mrs. Voshinin. Aggressive, definitely. And they would just state it in, sometimes, quite rude form. One definitely would object against the form, mainly—because, after all, everybody should have his own belief. There is nothing criminal to be an atheist either, but the form in which they did it, you know, the impoliteness.
Mr. Davis. Did you ever notice that they tended to want to help people?
Mrs. Voshinin. To help people?
Mr. Davis. Were they the type persons that were always trying to help someone that needed help?
Mrs. Voshinin. No; not always; uh-uh. But, I think that by nature, they are very, very good natured—definitely. They're for the underdog, you know—always. And—well, compared to George Bouhe, whose whole life is dedicated to helping people whether people wanted it or not, you know—they would be nonhelpful. You know, they would not bother so much about people as George Bouhe did.
Mr. Jenner. They weren't aggressive about it as George Bouhe was?
Mrs. Voshinin. Right. But they were very—are very good natured.
