Tag #114806 - Interview #95094 (Emilia Kotliar)

I had no idea that there was to be a war and was quite indifferent about a treaty between the USSR and Germany [18]. Only my nanny Anna Dormidontovna spoke in agitated manner turning to Stalin’s portrait. I need to mention here that there was a portrait of Stalin in every family. ‘What are you doing, what are you doing? Why are you shipping them all our wheat and giving them our bread?’ (She meant fascists). The nanny stayed with us until the war and during the war she left us.
