        Why it was important for us to create this episode.
Katerina Gordeeva: "My mother hardly ever hugged me when I was little. As I grew older, I realized how much I missed it and started asking questions. It turned out that no one hugged my mother in her childhood either, because her mother, my grandmother, was the daughter of 'enemies of the people': her father was executed, and her mother spent eight years in a camp for the wives of traitors to the Motherland, followed by six more years in exile. There were more than half a million of these women, who went through the slaughterhouse of Stalin's camps alongside their repressed husbands, according to the most conservative estimates. The berserk repressive machine deprived them of the most important thing: the ability to love and physically embrace their children. Their children grew up, had their own children, but they also didn't know how to hug them. There was no one to teach them.
In the fall of 2021, an exhibition about women in Stalin's camps opened at 'Memorial'* (human rights organisation)  It was very important for me to meet those who created it and those whose stories became part of this narrative. Both to remember and to better understand."
