Kuncewo, Stalin's villa

- Colonel Arsentiev.Hello,Hello,

Yes?

Can I come in?

- Good morning, Comrade Arsentiev.

- Hello, Comrade Supreme Commander.

Come in, come.

Come here, come on.

All my life I dreamed of learning to play...

This piano was a gift

from the Spanish communists.

Zhdanov played on it, they liked him,

... but Zhdanov

Zhdanov ...

and you are a professional musician,

try it and tell me if this is a good instrument.

Try, try.

It's a great instrument

Comrade Stalin.

It plays very nicely.

- What should I play?

- Just play what you want.

But ... I have not played in several years.

I think you still play better than me.

Play.

The music is beautiful.

Tell me, please, comrade Arsentiev

what do you know about the fate of Division Commander Kotov?

Comrade Stalin, the former Division Commander Kotov

in accordance with the order of 24 June 1941

was executed on

25 June of the same year,

at prison camp 5764,

because of ongoing

fighting in that territory.

Kotov was not shot in '41.

Why did you stop?

Please, play.

Yes.

- Sit, Sit. Sit ... and play.

I lived in the house of Professor Sierpickiego,

learned from his music.

Now we know ...

But we are interested in Kotov's wife and daughter.

not his in-laws.

According to documents Kotov's wife and daughter died

in a camp for members of families of traitors.

And it was true?

And you play, play.

As far as we know...That's it.
