Goofs
The librarian's retelling of the Nazi book burning of 1933 is very incorrect. While the book burning took place in various places in Germany, it didn't happen all on one day. Furthermore: books by Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoyevski were not burned.

Quotes
Zoya as a child: [to her mother about the recently dead people who got awarded by the Lenin medal] I don't understand: They died so they are not anymore. But they get awarded. How can you award someone who isn't anymore?
Zoya's Mother: That's what it's about? You see, girl, they are heroes. They went up so high where nobody ever was. And many years will go by and people will still remember them, just as if they would be alive.
