In 1949, the Soviet government carried out a nuclear test for the anniversary of Joseph Stalin’s 70th birthday. Many innocent people fell victims to the nuclear test. The other significance is about Sasha’s dream. He hopes that if he gives Stalin a gift, he will be able to see his parents again, not knowing that they were killed.
