Born
in 1928 in the Ural region. The
mother studies pedagogy and the
father works in a newspaper.
She passes her childhood inside the village library.
The father gets arrested on April 16th, 1934, and the
family will never hear from him again.
In 1946 she moves to Moscow to go to a University.
After getting her degree, she gets married and works as a
school teacher. During the
Stalinist censorship, she is able to make available samizdats (underground
publishing) and banned books to her students.
After ten years, still waiting for news from father,
she decides to search for documents concerning his trial.
Meanwhile his body gets discovered during the
construction of a highway, buried in a communal ditch
that hid over 40.000 bodies.
In 1956 the father gets rehabilitated.
Today Angelica Alexandrovna
