Quote #10
"The state will bring him up," said the senior lieutenant last night when they took my dad away. I didn't understand it then, but I do now. He was talking about the orphanage. Instead of joining the Pioneers, this is where I'm going. They will feed me, clothe me, and put a roof over my head, but nobody will ever trust me again. From this day on, I will be unreliable and suspicious. (24.9)
What do you think life is like in this orphanage? Do you think it's really more than just a sort of training ground for Lubyanka prison?
