Nadezhda Tarancheeva, about how my father married my mother

Abstract

After my father’s first wife died, he wanted to get married again. He liked a girl named Angir who was Basli Shoshayev’s daughter from the Khongshud clan. But she did not want to marry him, for she considered him old. My father went to Angir’s older brother and threatened to hand him over to the Soviets as a former White officer. By blackmailing her older brother, my father secured a marriage consent.
