Dove of peace
Do you know that in the 1980s. all over the world there were no girls more popular than American Samantha Smith and Soviet schoolgirl Katya Lycheva - both girls performed the role of "goodwill ambassadors".
In 1983, Samantha Smith came to the USSR.
In 1986, a Soviet "dove of the world" 11-year-old Katya Lychyova was sent to the United States. Then she was called the most famous schoolgirl of the planet, but in the 1990's. she suddenly disappeared ...
⠀
In 1985, Samantha Smith died in a plane crash, and the American organization "Children as Peacekeepers" invited the USSR to organize a return visit to the US of a Soviet schoolgirl. In order to choose a small "ambassador of peace", they held a special competition in which about 6,000 children took part. The condition was one: the girl must actively advocate peace and be no older than Samantha. The choice fell on Katya Lychyova.

Katya was born in a family of research associates in Moscow, she studied at the English special school №4, she acted in film "The Living Rainbow". Acting experience helped her freely and liberally stay in public.

From March 21 to April 4, 1986 Katya Lycheva, along with American schoolgirl Star Roe, toured the United States.
"In 5 minutes, Mr. Reagan appeared, extended his hand and said that he was very glad to see me in the White House. I handed him a toy and explained that it was made by Soviet guys who, like all our people, want peace. And then she said: "I think that children can not live peacefully on Earth while it has nuclear weapons, and I know that our country offered to destroy all-all nuclear weapons on Earth even before I grow up. so that it happens, then all the children will be happy. "
Pretty impressing and nope, didn't knew this one. I still find it strange the thing with the plane crash...
I still wonder how little we know abt history...real history.

I knew about Samantha Smith and Katya Lycheva. At that time they were heroines and the girls all wanted to be like them. It's very nice to remember those times.
Unfortunately, we didnt study these facts in school. But Im glad we are not stop studying all our life and can find out more abt our past too. TY for you comment
