Biographical History

Vladimir Weinstein was born in 1934. During the Second World War, Vladimir found himself (along with his mother, grandmother and younger brother, Mikhail) evacuated to the Urals, while his father fought on the front as a soldier in the Red Army. His mother died shortly thereafter, and Vladimir and Mikhail were placed in an orphan’s home.
