(Testimony of Mrs. Igor Vladimir Voshinin)

Mr. Jenner.
Did you attend a university?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Where?
Mrs. Voshinin.
I attended first University in Yugoslavia for 4 years. It was philosophy and I did not graduate due to war. Then, I got my bachelor's degree in geology in Brooklyn College in 1953.
Mr. Jenner.
That's Brooklyn, N.Y.?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Brooklyn, N.Y. And master's degree at Rutgers in 1955.
Mr. Jenner.
Rutgers University?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Rutgers University--right; in geology.
Mr. Jenner.
Where in Yugoslavia was the university that you attended?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Belgrade.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, in short compass, as I understand from your husband who just deposed, you left Russia or were taken by your parents from Russia when you were 1 year old?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Something like that; yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And in what country were you when you first became conscious of your whereabouts?
Mrs. Voshinin.
I was in Yugoslavia.
Mr. Jenner.
In what town?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Panchevo, next to Belgrade [spelling] P-a-n-c-h-e-v-o. And before that my parents lived for a few years--I think for a couple of years in Bulgaria--in Varna Pleven--[spelling] V-a-r-n-a P-l-e-v-e-n--and in Sofia. But I'm not aware of dates.
Mr. Jenner.
That's just by reputation?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
If you'll pardon my inquiry, what is your age?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Forty-five; March 21, 1918.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. Where did you meet Mr. Voshinin?
Mrs. Voshinin.
In Belgrade.
Mr. Jenner.
When?
Mrs. Voshinin.
First, I met him when I was about 12 years old and then I didn't see him for a while; and then, I believe it was in 1939, that I met him again.
Mr. Jenner.
Where?
Mrs. Voshinin.
In Panchevo. He was working there as a civil engineer---as a city engineer.
Mr. Jenner.
Yes. I understand he's some 12 years older than you?
Mrs. Voshinin.
That's right. Eleven and a half--something like that.
Mr. Jenner.
And he was a civil engineer in----
Mrs. Voshinin.
In the city of Panchevo.
Mr. Jenner.
In 1942?
Mrs. Voshinin.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
1939?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Well, 1939; yes. And through 1942, I would say. Because he was in the Army during the war, you know, in the beginning----
Mr. Jenner.
He was?
Mrs. Voshinin.
He was drafted to the Army.
Mr. Jenner.
What Army?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Yugoslavian Army.
Mr. Jenner.
And you were conscious of that fact, were you?
Mrs. Voshinin.
I don't--what do you mean, "conscious"?
Mr. Jenner.
Well, you were aware of the fact he had been drafted and was in the Yugoslavian Army?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Oh, yes; that was after we were married. We married 1940--January 21.
Mr. Jenner.
January 21, 1940?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And after your marriage----
Mrs. Voshinin.
After our marriage, he was drafted, first, to the exercises--you know, the Army training.
Mr. Jenner.
Yes.
