"Ingaba yenye yezona nyanga zintle ngonyaka. Iintsuku ezifudumeleyo zelanga, yonke into ejikelezileyo ityhutyha imibala eqaqambileyo, kunye nentwasahlobo nayo ikusemphefumlweni wakho. Nceda uqaphele: NgoMeyi, abantu baphantse babe nobuso bokukhanya. Ngokungathi yonke into ilindelwe ngummangaliso. Ndicinga ukuba kule nyanga inezinto ezininzi kwaye zenzeka. Owona mmangaliso ubekwenzeka kwilizwe lethu elinkulu ngoMeyi 1945. Ekubeni ubuntwana bam, ndinenyanga yokugqibela yentwasahlobo enxulunyaniswa nomhla woloyiso, iingoma zasemkhosini, zilwa amabhaso esifubeni se-goterans, iparade kwi-red square kunye nesandi esibomvu sombala. Utatomkhulu, uPavel Fedorovich, kule mfazwe wayenzakala kakhulu, wayethunyelwa ngokukhubazeka. Ngenxa yoko, ngekratshi bathi usapho lwethu lube negalelo kuloyiso olukhulu. Sinesiko: Nge-9 kaMeyi, ndiyeza emfazini wakho uAnja nabantwana bethu kwi-gorky park. Amagqala ahlanganisana apho, kwaye qho iinyembezi ziza ngamehlo xa ubona yonke le nto. Basifuna njani kuthi, xa siqwalaselwe, ngovuyo lwethu! Kwaye, ngendlela, ukuba sithetha ngoMoya-nankunjenkothi emphefumlweni! Kwaye bavuya abantwana bethu! Banoyolo nje ngale nto, ukusuka kwimo yeholide. Kwaye ndiyabulela kuye wonke umntu onikele ubomi bakho kunye nekamva lokusinika eli thuba lokuvuya. Sisoloko sithenga iintyatyambo kwaye sibanike amagqala bethu ngamazwi ombulelo. Ndicinga ukuba baninzi ukwenza oku. Uyazi, kwi-filmografi yam kukho iifilimu malunga nemfazwe, kodwa ndanyikimisa ipeyinti "inqaba enqabileyo" ezinzulwini zomphefumlo wam. Ukususa kuye, ndafumana iimvakalelo ezingayonyani- ngokungathi ziphangwe ngelo xesha. Sasingengawo abadlali, kodwa abathetheli belizwe labo. Iintsuku zomsebenzi kule filimu ziya kuhlala zikwinkumbulo yam. Xa abantwana bam bekhula, ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kubabonisa lo mfanekiso, kwaye abanye - izithandwa zabo: "Bayalwa nelizwe lawo," Abantwana kufuneka bazi ukuba kukwiyekobantu abaninzi, ababekwazi ukoyisa utshaba, bekhoboka phantse wonke umhlaba. Ngomhla namhlanje siza kuya kwindalo, apho siya kubhiyozela iholide. Kwaye ngokuhlwa siza kubukela i-swerute kunye neefilimu zakho ozithandayo ngemfazwe. Ukukhumbula. "
