Glikeria Grigoryeva was born in 1948 in Dubenci village in StradiÚi
parish of Daugavpils region, in the family of Evtihii and Irina Grigoryev.
On March 25, 1949, her grandfather Fyodor Grigoryevís family as well as
her parents were deported to Siberia. The reason for their deportation was
that they were a ëkulakí family, along with the fact that Fyodor Grigoryevís
sons had done military service in the German army and he himself
participated in an agricultural congress in Germany in 1943. On their way
to the assembly point, her mother decided to leave her with a neighbour
who took the baby to Irinaís mother Stepanida Kurmeliyova in Il˚kste region.

and started working in the ìDarbsî collective farm in PreiÔi region. In 1968
