After a long break, the conversation with Sammy resumes as he explores the personal and historical significance of his name, sharing family stories and an unexpected discovery about its origins. He recounts efforts to trace the Negelev family name at Yad Vashem and reflects on Soviet-era naming conventions, bureaucratic confusion, and the suppression of identity under Soviet rule. The discussion expands into life in the USSR, government cover-ups, and the first murmurs of emigration, as friends and family quietly consider the possibility of leaving. The episode ends on the brink of a life-changing decision—escaping the Soviet Union.
