Juhan Pohlaste remembers the 1905 revolution in Vändra
In this children's programme from 1957, pupils from Kergu school in the Vändra district ask Juhan Pohlaste what he saw during the revolution of 1905 in Vändra, the year when manor houses all over Estonia were attacked and set on fire. He describes the unrest of those days and sings songs that were sung at the time. The programme, called 'Kui mõisad põlesid' (When the manors burned), is one of the oldest eyewitness recordings of 1905 in the Estonian Radio archive and was restored by Heino Pedusaar in 1979.

Eesti keeles
Selles 1957. aasta lastesaates küsitlevad Vändra rajooni Kergu kooli õpilased Juhan Pohlastet sellest, mida ta nägi 1905. aasta revolutsiooni ajal Vändras, kui üle Eesti rünnati ja süüdati mõisaid. Ta kirjeldab tolle aja rahutusi ja laulab omaaegseid laule. Saade pealkirjaga "Kui mõisad põlesid..." on üks vanimaid 1905. aasta pealtnägija salvestisi Eesti Raadio arhiivis ning selle restaureeris 1979. aastal Heino Pedusaar.
