1973 · 57 min · Documentary

Four thousand letters were received by Sergey Vladimirovich Obraztsov after his television appearance, during which he asked the viewers to write to him about who has which animals and why they love them. Various letters—amazing and funny, cheerful and lyrical, and truly tragic—were sent by both adults and children. Kindness and cruelty are not innate to a person; they are shaped throughout a child's development. A person's attitude towards animals, nature, and everything around them should become part of their personal values, and children need to be raised with love for all living things so that they grow up to be kind people…
