At Puka train station, we held a public programme during which we opened the otherwise closed train station building to the public on two occasions. We dedicated the programme at this train station to the playful side of childhoods spent in Siberia. Visitors were able to hear about and experience the games that were played there. During the first event, Külli (1943–2019), who had been deported as a child, spoke about the games she remembered playing in Siberia and during the second event, Paul (b. 1948) presented games from his childhood. We also invited psychologist Kirill Maslov to speak about the importance of playing in the development of children as well as its roll in dealing with trauma. The deportation train left Puka train station on 26 March 1949 with 969 people, of whom 494 were women and 275 children. On 6 April, they reached their destinations, which were the train stations of Chany and Kargat in Novosibirsk Oblast. Our programme included hanging a sign bearing the name “Kargat” on the Puka train station building and planting a Novosibirsk bird cherry tree in front of the train station building.
