"Bright and grateful memory of a hugely significant and sincere person"

    July 30, 2020

   

Dear comrades! It was with deep sadness that I learned about the death of the unforgettable Nina Alexandrovna. I, like millions of Soviet patriots, of course, knew Nina Aleksandrovna from a thunderous publication in Sovetskaya Rossiya. And only quite recently I was lucky enough to get to know her: a few telephone conversations, an exchange of letters by mail - these are all the few contacts that are memorable for the rest of my life. But that was enough to recognize in her a person of great kind soul, the highest culture of thinking and powerful energy of action. I am immensely proud that my book, Our Stalin, was, perhaps, the last she read. She warmly responded to it, introduced and quoted it in the Hammer and Sickle newspaper. At her suggestion, I wrote two small articles about Stalin in the newspaper (published in the last two issues of the newspaper). About both articles, she called me and also spoke very favorably about them. The bright and grateful memory of the great and sincere person Nina Alexandrovna Andreeva will forever remain in the hearts of everyone who knew her.
