Already as a child I had though that if I was to marry someone, he would have to be tall with dark curly hair. And that is the man that Eduard Ingriš was!
The family leaving because of Dad
"My Mum's parents pretty much refused to say goodbye to him. He always claimed that they didn't at all. They reproached him for taking us into Germany. Into uncertainty. 'Leave them here, Viktor, we'll hide them here! Nothing will happen to them.' Daddy would say: 'I'm not forcing them to go! They can stay, I'm not dragging them away.' But I said in front of everyone, in front of all the relatives we had there, I declared that: 'If Mummy stays, then I'll just go with Daddy on my own. I won't be waiting here for the Soviets.' Because I knew from the Cossacks and from those who had escaped the Soviet Union, I knew what atrocities they performed. And didn't they prove it all to be true, Malinovsky's army, yes, despite that you have a Malinovsky Square here in Brno - makes my blood boil! They still have a bust of him there and communists place wreaths before him and sing the Internationale! These days, twenty years after the revolution - that's horrendous!"
