ITEM DATA
DESCRIPTION
Mikhail Liderman was born on May 22, 1922, in Manchuria. His father was a fur trader and spent the 1920s
and early 1930s in Mongolia. In 1931, during the period of dekulakization, the family was deprived of their
property and decided to return to the USSR. Liderman’s father found work in Moscow at a state-run fur
trading company, but in 1933 he was arrested and sent to a camp in Mariinsk, Siberia, which also held
many notable cultural and intellectual figures. The family joined him there. After his father's release, the
family moved to Shymkent. Liderman was drafted later than some of his classmates and sent first to a unit
in Siberia and then to the Labor Army, possibly because he was the son of an "enemy of the people." His
job—operating the cement mixer—wasn't bad, but he contracted typhus and had to be hospitalized. As he
was recovering, he was allowed to return home for a visit, and during this time, in February or March 1943,
Liderman was drafted into the regular army and sent to an officer school in Almaty. Upon completing his
training, he was sent to join the 110th Rifle Division. He advanced through Ukraine and was wounded on
two occasions. After recovering from the second wound, at his brother's official request, Liderman was
sent to a communications unit of the anti-aircraft forces. In his interview, Liderman provides a lot of details
about life at the front: a diet that predominantly consisted of millet porridge, relapses of malaria he had
contracted in Mariinsk, problems with lack of equipment or badly functioning equipment, inadequate
hygiene and lice, mistakes stemming from lack of training or incompetent command, and so on.
