CHANGING THE FIELD: FROM TANNING TO FERROUS METALLURGY

Shortly after being accused of cosmopolitanism, Moisey left the Central Research Institute of the Tanneries in September 1951. Whether this was a direct consequence of the accusation of anti-cosmopolitanism or not, I do not know, but I think that, most likely, yes. Moisey left not only the institute, he also left the tannery field. From light industry, he moved to heavy industry: ferrous metallurgy.

 

From a research institute, Moisey moved to an organization subordinate to the USSR Ministry of Ferrous Metallurgy. This was the trust called Central Refractory Materials. There he got the position of the head of the labour and salary department (1).

​

On November 15, 1952, Moisey and Tatiana had a second child, a son Sergei (my father).

 

And in March 1954, Moisey changed jobs again, moving this time to the USSR Ministry of Ferrous Metallurgy itself. There he got the position of deputy head of department in the Main Directorate for Procurement, Processing and Marketing of Secondary Ferrous Metals of the ministry (2).
