Russians. When the war end-
ed, Prikupets believed that
his entire family — his
parents, three sisters, and a
brother — had perished.
"The Russians proposed
that those soldiers whose
families were gone could re-
main in the army," he
remembers. "I stayed in for
almost three more years un-
til one time I went on vaca-
tion back to Kichinev, and I
found that my mother,
brother and two sisters were
still alive,"
Prikupets soon left the ar-
my and returned home to the
trade he had left. There he
worked in a factory that
manufactured clothing. "I ran
a sewing machine. Later I
designed pants and hats for
both men and women!'
In 1953, Prikupets married
his sweetheart Ita. "She's
very beautiful," he declares.
She's ten years younger than
I am!' The couple and their
daughter Svetlana remained
in Russia until 1981. "I never
really thought about leaving
until my brother-in-law, who
was already in Detroit, en-
couraged me to apply for per-
mission to leave!'
The Russian immigrant
says that occasionally Jewish
families have been able to
leave the Soviet Union
without a hassle and without
a lot of red-tape. He admits
that his was one of the lucky
ones. "I think they wanted
our apartment," he explains.
Prikupets credits Jewish
Family Service with helping
them adjust to a new country
and a new community. "The
hardest part for me was the
change of culture, the new
way of life and the new way of
thinking" he recalls. "Now I
like to volunteer for Jewish
Family Service, entertaining
for seniors, for new Russians,
and for people in nursing
homes."
"After a few months I found
the Jewish Community
Center and started to get in-
volved," says Prikupets, who
walks to the Center with ac-
cordion in hand from his
apartment three-quarters of a
mile away.
He stresses that the Jewish
Center volunteer musicians
are true professionals, and he
is proud to play with them.
"Today I have my chance. I
don't know what will happen
tomorrow!"
Prikupets says that he plays
"all kinds of music — folk
music, dance music, Jewish
music, and when Russian peo-
ple are coming, I play Russian
music. I'm happy that I live
near the Jewish Center so
that I can be useful to my peo-
ple and bring them joy."
Prikupets' accordion bears a picture of his grandchildren because it
helps him "play better."
The Russian accordion that
Prikupets proudly uses is not
the one he learned to play on
as a young man in the Soviet
Union. "I had an Italian ac-
cordion, but the Russians
wouldn't let me take it out of
the country. So I had to buy
a- Russian accordion to bring
with me?'
The beautifully cared-for
black and gold instrument is
a one-of-a-kind accordion.
Securely mounted on it is a
small picture frame which
contains a photo of a hand-
some young man and a pret-
ty little dark-haired princess
— "my grandchildren, Jerry
and Simona. I keep their pic-
tures with me. It helps me to
play better." ❑
