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." ❑ GOING PLACES Continued from preceding page The Upstage, 21728 Grand River, Detroit, Norman is That You? today and Saturday, May 13-14, admission. 532-4010.
