"Life Proved How Right She Was"

    July 30, 2020



Dear comrades!

... I express my deep condolences to you in connection with the death of Comrade. Andreeva. When she wrote her historic letter to Sovetskaya Rossiya, I was a student in Moscow, at the Historical Archives Institute, which in those years was, unfortunately, a stronghold of reactionary perestroika forces.

Few of us then understood the full depth of her analysis of what was happening in our country and her historical foresight of what that bacchanalia of revisionism would lead to in practice.

Unfortunately, not everyone had the wisdom and courage at that time of perestroika to call a spade a spade and rise up to fight for socialist ideals, as Comrade Andreeva did. Life proved how right she was.

I corresponded with comrade Nina several times, already living in forced emigration. I will forever preserve these letters and the brightest memory of her.

Respectfully,

Irina Malenko, writer, chairman of the Ireland-Korea friendship society
