My grandfather was from Babroysk. His American name was Hyman Ryen but his last name was Raikin in Russia. We believe he may be the father or uncle to Arkady Raikin. He had been a prisoner in Siberia because he was for the Bolsheviks while the czar was in power. He escapes and came to America. He had left a young son and wife/girlfriend who was also a partisan. He was born in 1886. Anyone with info please contact me, Micki Hall at
