00:04The Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union
00:22The Central Committee of the Soviet Union, with a feeling of great pride,
00:30advises the party and all the working of the Soviet Union
00:37that the 5th of March was lost by Iosif Vissarionovich Stalin.
00:47At long last it has happened.
00:50My husband comes home at lunch.
00:53As he walks in, there's all that ruckus in the room.
00:56I am jumping up and down on the beds.
00:59Underneath, the dog has torn all the sheets.
01:02It's absolute madness.
01:04But he closes the door and says,
01:07Quiet, quiet, someone may hear.
01:20In 1954, after Stalin's death, I could go home for the first time.
01:26I came over and saw my mum.
01:29I had to ask for a visa to go to Pavel Ooster though.
01:33One was not allowed to go there just like that.
01:36And besides, it was all in ruins.
01:38We no longer had a house, for where I once used to live
01:43was now the place for the collective farm's cattle.
01:56And that was true.
01:57And that's the thing.
01:58We didn't even have a daughter.
01:59We went out there.
02:00It's like a baby.
02:01She was rejected.
