Beylina (Schlesinger) Raisa Abramovna (5.02.1921, Riga) – Employee.

Raisa Beylina was born into the family of Abram Zelikovich Schlesinger (born 1890, Kārsava, Latvia – died 1942 in custody, Solikamsk, Perm Region), a merchant, and Chaya Mendelevna Schlesinger (Davidson) (born 1892, Riga), an employee.

She graduated from the Sabiedriska Jewish Gymnasium in Riga (1939), then completed accounting courses (1939-1940). She worked as an accountant at the Darba Aktīvs woodworking plant (1940-1941). Since her father had opened his own shoe shop in 1929, Raisa Beylina, along with her mother and sister, was deported in 1941 as a family member of a large trader to a special settlement in the Irbeisky District, Krasnoyarsk Region. Raisa worked as a seamstress at the 1 May atelier (1941-1942).

In 1942, her family was relocated further to the Far North, to Dorofeyevka, Ust-Yenisey District, Krasnoyarsk Region, where Raisa worked as a labourer at the Ashmarin Fish Factory (1942-1943). In 1943, she was again relocated to Kheta, Khatanga District, Krasnoyarsk Region, where she worked at the local fish factory. That same year, Raisa moved to join her husband at the Stalin Collective Farm in the Mutino trading post, Khatanga District, where she worked as an accountant until 1946.

After relocating with her family to Kansk, Krasnoyarsk Region, Raisa Beylina worked as an accountant at the Pishcheprom cooperative (1946-1951) and as an inspector at the Dzerzhinsky Club (1951-1956). In 1955, she was removed from the special settlement registry.

After returning to Riga in 1956, due to recurring bronchial asthma, Raisa Beylina did not have a payed job and was financially dependent on her husband (1956-1967). She briefly worked as a receptionist at the Siluets industrial association (1967) but left again due to health issues. She resumed work in 1970 as an accountant at Siluets (1970-1971), a cashier-inspector at the Leninsky food trade (1971), and a senior accountant at the Darba Spars factory (1971-1974).

Raisa was married to Miron Borisovich Beylin (born 1922, Petrograd, now St. Petersburg), and they had two daughters: Zhanna Mironovna Beylina (born 1946, Mutino trading post, Khatanga District, Krasnoyarsk Region) and Abira Mironovna Gutman (Beylina) (born 1950, Kansk, Krasnoyarsk Region)

In 1974, Raisa Beylina received permission to emigrate to Israel, where her brother, Gershon Abramovich Schlesinger (born 1924, Vilnius), had lived since 1938, her mother and sister, Chaya Mendelevna Schlesinger (Davidson) (born 1892, Riga) and Mia Abramovna Berman (Schlesinger) (born 1923, Riga), had lived since 1971, and her daughter, Abira Mironovna Gutman (Beylina) (born 1950), had lived since 1973.
