Abstract
The 1936 military uprising in Spain changed the life and fate of millions of people and marked the life of many more, who were forced to flee from the fear and uncertainty that came with the conflict. Children were among the most vulnerable of these groups. In 1937 the Basque Government decided to evacuate children to avoid suffering and safeguard them from the bombing raids and the poverty. The fate of these children, evacuated to Britain, France, Denmark, the USSR and elsewhere, acquired great importance. The stories of their lives are told in the documentary Los niños de Rusia by Jaime Camino, which presents accounts by children who were sent to Russia as war evacuees and ended up living most of their lives there, following the victory of Franco's troops and the outbreak of World War II. It is their own story told through their own words and feelings.
