- Abstract
- In the years of the government of People' Unity in Chile the author worked in that country as a correspondent of Radio Moscow. He interviewed Salvador Allende and wrote reports as he accompanied the President to different provinces. All the details of those trips were carefully preserved in the journalist's old notebooks and are now published in this essay. The readers will also learn how S. Allende's last address to the Chilean people from "La Moneda" Palace, besieged by the putschists, was recorded, and how it became possible to preserve that recording in Santiago of those days. The author also recollects his meetings with S. Allende's widow and daughter who in the wake of the military coup found themselves in exile. Of particular interest are the pages about Radio Moscow broadcasts to Chile in the years of military dictatorship which sparked an impressive response in the country.
