Tag #115344 - Interview #95074 (Evgeniy Kotin)

I remember how the entire school went to the cinema to watch anti-fascist movie Professor Mamlock [27]. But I do not remember it, probably I was too small to understand that movie. I remember the event regarding the war in Spain [28], because for us it was not mere words. Orphan Spanish children were brought to Moscow from Spain. There was a sanatorium in front of our school and Spanish orphans were given a lodging there. They took them strolling every day and we were watching them. It was the first time we tried oranges, Spanish paid USSR for the weapon, ammunition and fuel. Those oranges were on offer in the store. Before that oranges were not sold and even now I associate oranges with the war in Spain.
