But during Stalin's reign of terror in the 1930s they, like millions of other Russians, come under attack for their presumed lack of political purity.

And young Alexe himself, a budding classical pianist, has been allowed to continue his musical studies. His first solo concert is scheduled for May 24, 1941.
