"My parents only farmed, my mother was also from such a family, my grandfather farmed. They cultivated the land. Hard times came after the front, supplies were given... (contingents). There was a lot to be filled, 75 meters were transported to Zemianské Podhradie, 50 meters of potatoes for 15 crowns per meter, beef, pork. They gave us 4000 eggs, 4000 liters of milk. And those who did not comply were neither allowed to buy sugar nor to buy clothes for clothing. 0:02:40 – 0:03:57 - Memories of the transfer of contingents after the war

"The Russians stayed with us here for three weeks. Because we went to Bošáca, they had a grandfather and a sister there, but they came back. But they didn't want us to remain both children and grandparents. But the parents returned, but the Russians did not want to let them go. And everything that was buried here, that they had clothes, shoes, everything was dug up from the ground and taken away. They took our horses, two horses. Everything (Russians). After that, when we ran to that Bošáca, we are then down from those Kubiček family, like the ditches to Predpolomská dolina to Janego and from there we are to Bošáca. And then, when they came back, the Russian overtook us there and was already riding one of our mares, and when they called to her, she turned around, they caught her, and he pulled out a gun on dad. And they also asked where we were going and where our cottage was. Well, then they came back for the cows, here and there they even ran into Bošáca. But otherwise, there was only one ox left here, about 400 kilos, the Russians killed that too, they killed the pigs, everything that was there. There wasn't a single glass in the whole barrack, everything was broken." 0:06:36 – 0:08:35 - Ladislav remembers the stay of Soviet soldiers in their house
