This letter from Leningrad was probably sent to Lev and Nina in Iuzhno-Sakhalinsk, the administrative center in the south of the island. Nina was able to obtain a job in the editorial department of a locally produced children's TV show in Iuzhno-Sakhalinsk, and after 2 months, Lev was able to join her.

Lev and Nina returned to Leningrad in November of 1961; Nina gave birth to their son Dimitry on July 15, 1963. These letters are dated after those 2 events.

At the writing of these letter, Asya was in the process of emigrating from the USSR to the United States. Lev had already emigrated in 1976.
