Tbilisi (Georgia), Jul 15 (EFE) .- (Camera: Misha Vignanski) Manuel Faúndez, born into a peasant family from Zamora who emigrated to France in the mid-1920s, never imagine he would serve in the Blue Division and that he would spend 11 years in Stalin's GULAG, and ended up creating a life in Georgia.FOOTAGE AND SOUNDBITES OF MANUEL FAÚNDEZ (SON) IN TBILISI.TRANSLATIONMy father didn't particularly enjoy telling the stories about the Blue Division or the Civil War, even if he got injured three times. Nor even the concentration camp. But sometimes I would know those stories in certain conversations with him.He lived in misery for 11 years in the Gulag. After Stalin's death he was freed and he came to Georgia. The key was given to him by one of his jailers, a Georgian. From time to time, he received lemons and mandarins from his relatives, so they deduced that the climate of Georgia was much milder than that of Russia and resembled that of Spain. So they decided to move to Tbilisi and that's where he met my mother, Mercedes.
