Mrs. Paine. I have spoken to some extent of her aunt and uncle—that she lived there. Is this relevant to your question?
Mr. Jenner. Yes; it is relevant to Representative Ford's question, which I ghosted to you.
Mrs. Paine. She liked her aunt very much, and commented to me several times that it was interesting that this particular aunt was no blood relation at all—it was the uncle that was the blood relation. But that this aunt was her favorite aunt. And they had many good conversations. Marina would go out on a date, and then come back and tell the aunt all about it. Marina commented that the aunt did not work, which she also said was unusual.
Mr. Jenner. Unusual in what sense?
Mrs. Paine. That most women in Russia both did work and had to financially.
Mr. Jenner. Was that—did you infer from that that her uncle had a position in Russia that enabled him to supply funds so that his wife did not have to work?
Mrs. Paine. That was the impression it left me with, yes.
She also said of her aunt that her aunt kept her floors spotless, and her whole house beautiful all the time. You want all the recollections I have of their time in Minsk?
Mr. Jenner. Anywhere in Russia.
Mrs. Paine. Including her family background?
