0:52:12 > 0:52:19ANDREI: 'You could hear the sirens as the Black Marias picked up the prisoners.
0:52:19 > 0:52:22'So we all knew what it meant.'
0:52:22 > 0:52:29When they came for my mother, I was asleep. It was the dead of night.
0:52:29 > 0:52:33And my mother came in and turned on the light
0:52:33 > 0:52:37and said, "You'll have to wake up."
0:52:38 > 0:52:44And I straightaway gathered that there was a strange man in the room.
0:52:44 > 0:52:50He was already rummaging about my bits of copy books on my desk.
0:52:50 > 0:52:54I said, "Have they come for you as well?"
0:52:54 > 0:52:58I remember that rather well - the man.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02That was the end.
0:53:02 > 0:53:09Then my mother told me um...that they'd come to take her away.
0:53:09 > 0:53:12And when she's gone,
0:53:12 > 0:53:18there is a gold coin that she particularly treasured and her rings,
0:53:18 > 0:53:24and she put it the dirty linen basket whilst they were searching.
0:53:26 > 0:53:32She said, "Find them and hide them." I remember that very well.
0:53:32 > 0:53:39In those days, possession of gold was almost equivalent to a death sentence.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42So I did that.
0:53:42 > 0:53:47I don't really remember how the rest of the night passed.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10'My neighbour came in and I remember
0:54:10 > 0:54:17'that they had a ticket to the opera Carmen on that following night.
0:54:17 > 0:54:24'Ever since then, I associate Carmen with the arrest of my mother.'

0:59:58 > 1:00:01NEW WOMAN SPEAKER:
1:03:10 > 1:03:16MALE SPEAKER: I came out here with my dad. That was back in 1932.
1:03:16 > 1:03:22I came out with him just for the adventure of coming out here.
1:03:24 > 1:03:27He was a communist in South Africa.
1:03:27 > 1:03:31He came out, together with me,
1:03:31 > 1:03:33to help the Soviets...
1:03:35 > 1:03:38..industrialise their country.
1:03:38 > 1:03:40That's the way we came out.
1:03:40 > 1:03:45He read a lot about...the Soviet Union.
1:03:46 > 1:03:50And he wanted to help the country
1:03:50 > 1:03:56There you are, instead of helping, they helped him be put away.
1:04:07 > 1:04:12He was arrested for no reason at all. We still don't know why.
1:04:13 > 1:04:17You daren't say, "What's wrong with this country?"
1:04:17 > 1:04:24You daren't say a word, er...bad about then Stalin.
1:04:24 > 1:04:29or in general that things were bad in the Soviet Union.
1:04:29 > 1:04:33You had to keep quiet, otherwise you'd be arrested.
1:04:33 > 1:04:36And when I was arrested,
1:04:36 > 1:04:40they told me a lot of things I'd never said to anybody.
1:04:40 > 1:04:42They had to arrest a person.
1:04:42 > 1:04:46Of course, you're forced to tell afterwards
1:04:46 > 1:04:51that you really did say that and undersign it.
1:04:51 > 1:04:55If you didn't, you were sent down to the dark room.
1:04:55 > 1:04:58So dark and cold, brrr!
1:07:22 > 1:07:26GENRICH GOLTSIN:
1:08:30 > 1:08:32JOE GLAZER: They knew perfectly well
1:08:32 > 1:08:36that you would sign anything they said,
1:08:36 > 1:08:40which I had to do, because I could stand it any more.
1:08:40 > 1:08:43It was terrible.
1:08:43 > 1:08:47A night in the cellar, a day not being able to sleep,
1:08:47 > 1:08:50and the same day, but in the evening,
1:08:50 > 1:08:54you were taken again to be interrogated - ten o'clock.
1:08:54 > 1:08:58You don't understand what you're talking about.
1:08:58 > 1:09:03You hadn't slept. You know what it means not to sleep for 48 hours.
1:09:03 > 1:09:06You sign everything they tell you to.
1:09:06 > 1:09:09If not, then down in the cold cellar.
1:09:09 > 1:09:13So I decided to sign it. That's all.
1:09:14 > 1:09:17I had to, nothing could be done about it.
1:09:18 > 1:09:21I'm not a hero.
1:09:21 > 1:09:24I'm not a coward, but I don't know,
1:09:24 > 1:09:30it's the terrible torture that you go through during interrogation.
1:09:30 > 1:09:34You'd sign anything they would tell you to.
1:09:41 > 1:09:44I don't want to remember those days at all.
1:09:44 > 1:09:50I like to remember these days with my family, my wife helping me.

1:15:59 > 1:16:00Da.
1:19:08 > 1:19:11NEW MALE SPEAKER:
1:22:14 > 1:22:18COCKEREL CROWS
1:30:09 > 1:30:13I got off the tram and walked along the embankment
1:30:13 > 1:30:17to the prison there.
1:30:17 > 1:30:23See the arch in the centre? That's where you went in the prison.
1:30:23 > 1:30:26You queued there until your turn.
1:30:26 > 1:30:32You always remember the dirt and the smell of the prison.
1:30:32 > 1:30:38Prisoners, because of the lack of washing facilities
1:30:38 > 1:30:41and, at the same time, a liberal use of disinfectant
1:30:41 > 1:30:47produces a very specific prison smell.
1:30:47 > 1:30:52When you took the parcel there,
1:30:52 > 1:30:58they found something that wasn't according to the regulations
1:30:58 > 1:31:02and they could refuse the parcel.
1:31:02 > 1:31:04But if they accepted the parcel,
1:31:04 > 1:31:10then you got the return parcel from the prisoner
1:31:10 > 1:31:12with the dirty linen.
1:31:12 > 1:31:15And you went home happily.
1:31:15 > 1:31:18I had to catch the train back and go to school.
1:31:18 > 1:31:23I don't remember what the excuse in school was
1:31:23 > 1:31:26why I was late twice a week.
1:31:26 > 1:31:29- REPORTER:- Did you also deliver to your mother?
1:31:29 > 1:31:36My mother was in the Syayetnaya Prison on the other side of the river.
1:31:36 > 1:31:43So, it was one day - for a fairly short period there were two prisons,
1:31:43 > 1:31:49because my mother was arrested on March 8th
1:31:49 > 1:31:57and...my father was sent away from that prison there on April 13th.
1:31:57 > 1:32:02It was a fairly short period of time when I did both prisons.
1:32:02 > 1:32:06You were a very young child, a ten-year-old.
1:32:06 > 1:32:12- Was it natural that both parents... - I knew I wasn't the only one.
1:32:20 > 1:32:25Inmates were allowed a visit before going to the concentration camps,
1:32:25 > 1:32:33and I took my grandmother to the prison so she could see him.
1:32:33 > 1:32:36And they refused.
1:32:36 > 1:32:41We stood there on the other side - in those days it was a grass bank -
1:32:41 > 1:32:47and she stood by the river and cried into the water. People were passing.
1:32:47 > 1:32:53I felt ashamed that a grown-up woman should weep openly in the street.
1:32:53 > 1:32:58I still remember her words, "I shall never see him again."

1:56:00 > 1:56:04'It's well over 60 years since I've been back.
1:56:04 > 1:56:07'I remember it all very well.
1:56:09 > 1:56:13'When my father arrived from prison in the camp,
1:56:13 > 1:56:19'the prisoners were sorted according to their specialities and abilities.
1:56:21 > 1:56:25'My father was a fish scientist.
1:56:25 > 1:56:30'He was sent to Kandalashka to establish a fishing camp.
1:56:30 > 1:56:37'And because of the success in reaching record figures,
1:56:37 > 1:56:39'he was given permission
1:56:39 > 1:56:46'of seeing his family on the site of his work for ten days.
1:56:48 > 1:56:52'He took this opportunity,
1:56:52 > 1:56:55'and planned his escape from his camp.'
1:57:05 > 1:57:08So it's somewhere down here?
1:57:08 > 1:57:13We started from the little village
1:57:13 > 1:57:18about 15 or 20 miles away.
1:57:18 > 1:57:20We rowed right across here
1:57:20 > 1:57:26and finished up in the base of that bay.
1:57:28 > 1:57:34We unloaded the boat, took all the provisions and rucksacks,
1:57:34 > 1:57:37and we just marched on.
1:57:42 > 1:57:47We had to avoid any possible meeting with humans
1:57:47 > 1:57:54because there was a reward on capture of all prisoners escaping -
1:57:54 > 1:57:57the price of a sack of flour -
1:57:57 > 1:58:00which in those days, was an enormous price.
1:58:02 > 1:58:08- So...- It was somewhere down here that...that the boat was?
1:58:08 > 1:58:12In the furthest corner that you can see straight ahead,
1:58:12 > 1:58:17not in that little promontory on the right there,
1:58:17 > 1:58:21but further still, right at the bottom of that bay.
1:58:21 > 1:58:26And we started walking up the hill.
1:58:26 > 1:58:31We got about as far as there and I felt very tired.
1:58:31 > 1:58:35When did you realise you were escaping?
1:58:35 > 1:58:39That would be exactly when I was told.
1:58:39 > 1:58:45I thought we would camp for the night or at least have a rest.
1:58:45 > 1:58:48That's when my parents said,
1:58:48 > 1:58:53"We're not going to rest tonight because we're escaping from Russia."
1:59:02 > 1:59:05My mother, perhaps, was a little nostalgic.
1:59:05 > 1:59:13She showed me the panorama east over the tops of the mountains.
1:59:13 > 1:59:17And she said, "That's your homeland you're leaving."
1:59:20 > 1:59:26At which time I felt, shall we say, slightly sick and frightened.
1:59:26 > 1:59:29I knew that all prisoners are shot eventually.
1:59:29 > 1:59:33And probably Mother would be shot as well.
1:59:33 > 1:59:35That much...
1:59:36 > 1:59:41It wasn't a question of logic reasoning why I was frightened. I was just frightened.
1:59:41 > 1:59:44It took us 22 days from the start.
1:59:44 > 1:59:47I knew that we just had to go on till we got to Finland.
2:00:01 > 2:00:04We ended up in England.
2:00:04 > 2:00:08My mother wrote The Escape From The Soviets,
2:00:08 > 2:00:12and my father wrote I Speak For The Silent.
2:00:15 > 2:00:21The idea was that my father owed it to the prisoners to tell the world
2:00:21 > 2:00:27of the conditions and the repression that was going on at the time.
2:00:27 > 2:00:33But if it didn't make any difference, naturally, that was that.
