From 1935 to 1937, Torokul Aitmatov studied in Moscow at the Institute of the Red Professorship, where cadres of party and Soviet workers were trained. The students of the institute lived with their families in the center of Moscow, on Vorovsky Street, 25. Great attention was paid to the upbringing of family members, especially children. Literacy courses were organized for illiterate workers serving the dormitory, which preschool children also attended. During the summer holidays, families with children went to suburban villages, where life was like that of all ordinary people.

Ilgiz was already able to read at the age of 6. Thanks to newspapers and radio, children knew what was happening in the country and the world.

On March 8, 1937, the Aitmatovs had a daughter, whom they named Rozetta in honor of a famous partisan heroine of the Spanish republicans. The names Lutsia and Rozetta were not a tribute to fashion. It was a deep faith of the parents in the ideals of the revolution and internationalism.
