My grandfather was from Moscow and he had a family friend or family member, a woman, who was in Soviet concentration camp from 1940th to 1950th. Almost all the intelligence went to those camps in Seberia in 1930 - 1950th, especially if they worked and lived in big cities.
This woman used to be like a man, dressed and acted, smoked, used all bad words. Then she would always bring me gifts, nice dresses, even when I was older...
