Tag #142718 - Interview #83360 (Tamara-Alexandra Goldenberg)

I graduated from the institute in the full swing of the Spanish events [cf. Spanish Civil War] [17]. When I was in the fourth year, we were taught Spanish. After graduation I got a mandatory job assignment [18] in Obninsk [about 100 km south of Moscow], at the Spanish orphanage, where children of Spanish anti-fascists stayed. Obninsk was a hick town, though picturesque. That orphanage was meant for Spanish children. Some of my fellow students left with me. We settled in the local hostel. Our life there was tedious and monotonous.
