Boris Pšenitšnikov remembers Vasknarva and the 1930s

Boris Pšenitšnikov meenutab Vasknarvat ja 1930. aastaid

Vasknarva sits where the Narva river flows out of Lake Peipus, a fishing village beside the ruins of an order castle. Boris Pšenitšnikov tells Ruth Tepandi about his memories of Vasknarva and of Võrumaa, then about being imprisoned for underground communist activity in the Estonian Republic, conditions in Narva prison and Tallinn's Patarei, making leaflets, and 21 June 1940. The recording reflects the official Soviet view of its time.

Eesti keeles

Vasknarva asub seal, kus Narva jõgi voolab Peipsist välja – kaluriküla ordulinnuse varemete kõrval. Boris Pšenitšnikov räägib Ruth Tepandile oma mälestustest Vasknarvast ja Võrumaalt, seejärel vangistamisest põrandaaluse kommunistliku tegevuse eest Eesti Vabariigis, oludest Narva vanglas ja Tallinna Patareis, lendlehtede tegemisest ja 21. juunist 1940. Salvestus peegeldab oma aja ametlikku nõukogude vaadet.
