Karl Qualls joined Eoghan and Alan to discuss his book Stalin's Niños: Educating Spanish Civil War Refugee Children in the Soviet Union Here they talk about how the 3,000 Spanish children ended up in the USSR and what happened during their childhood there. They also speak about the education they received and why they were considered hero children in the eyes of the Soviet Union. They also explore why it was important for them to keep their Spanish culture but also develop a Soviet way of thinking. Finally, they explore what we can learn from this in the context of today's war in Ukraine. You can buy the book here
