Biographical information:

Born in Nadezhnaya Colony in 1889 (evacuation record).

During the Russian Civil War, moved to Donetsk (then called Yuzovo or Yuzovka). Worked at the state mill. The two eldest sons worked as locksmith and a tinsmith. His daughter went to work at a coal mine. Vulf went to school and on graduation worked at a factory.

Birth order difficult to asses. Some biographies consider Vulf to the the third son but they appear to be using biographical material devoid of precise dates and even names of family members. In particular there is a reference to Vulf as third son coupled with a mention that the eldest was a locksmith, and elsewhere there is a reference to Vulf as a locksmith. We go by the dates in various documents under the assumption that we have correctly identified the individuals referred to, as no single source gives clear information.

Shown by Yad Vashem as evacuated fromm Donetsk to Nizhniy Tagil, Sverdlovsk, with wife Riva and daughter Sofia. Patronymic Samoil (not only here).

Notes

For more about the family see the biographical details for Vulf Konovalov.

See also the Vinnik chart for details as to what is given, and what is not given, in that chart.

The information derived from biographies of Vladmir seems not informed in detail on the family background, and makes only casual mention of some useful details. We are informed by the biographies that Vladimir was the third son.

The chart supplied by the Vinniks omits Vladimir.

Putting the two sources together involves conjecture, and no clear birth order results. There are some hints elsewhere that Vladimir was the son working as a locksmith. In that case the biographical details above become more doubtful in detail.
