" I don't have another three years of my life hidden in a secret place." "Certainly your TV set didn't earn you an early release." "I'm going to send you back to the Spiridonovka special prison and appoint you the head of a new project." "If you finish it in 6 months, you're going home." "May I inquire what kind of a job it will be?" "There will be a lot of work there." "And they all are urgently needed." "And they all are up your alley." "Am I right, Anton Nikolaevich?" " Exactly." "We need to design a camera that takes pictures in... ultrared band" "Infrared." " Yeah, infrared band." "It is needed for taking covert pictures in the dark of the night." "And these pictures remain top secret." "And this camera must be easy for our agents to handle." "They are not so clever as you are." "And the second assignment must be peanuts for you." "And we need it very urgently." "We need a regular camera of a very small size." "We must be able to mount such cameras in the doorsills." "It must take automatic pictures of all the incoming people." "It must operate both in daylight and in artificial lighting." "Night vision capacity is not required." "Imagine what will happen when we start mass producing these devices." "What do you think of it?" "Could I continue working with TV sets?" "Are you refusing?" "Give me your reasons." "The reason is simple." "I won't be able to develop these gadgets." "They are beyond my abilities." " Stop it." "You merely haven't received a real assignment for a long time." "You are timid because of that, aren't you?" "Who else might be up to these tasks?" "You're a specialist in that." "No, it is not up my alley." "I'm not a specialist in taking people in." "I'm not a catcher of innocent people." "Our imprisonment must be the limit." "I must be off." "I'm really sorry." "Potapov, you keep filing all these petitions that you haven't received mail for months?" "For three months already." "Does it really matter?" "Have you ever thought what kind of a person your wife really is?" "I don't follow you." " Why?" "Have you ever contemplated her political profile?" "What has happened?" "She's a whiner." "And we don't need those people who whine around." "And she turns a blind eye to all the good things in our life." "And she pries into bad things too intently." "What has happened to her?" "Nothing." "So far nothing." "Take your letter." "Thank you." "May I leave?" " No." "Read the letter here." "I can't let you take this letter out to the hostel." "What will other prisoners think about the life out there" "Dear Vanya!" "You seem to be offended by my rare letters." "But I come home too late at night and after that I have to go to gather wood." "And it continues deep into the night." "Each evening I'm falling off my feet." "Everything is very bad." "Our grandmother has recently died" "I wake up at 5 in the morning." "By 8 o'clock I must report to work." "Thanks God, the fall is warm, but I fear the coming winter." "They don't assign any coal to us." "It all goes to the bosses or their pals." "Recently a bunch of wood fell of my back and I had to drag it along." "I had no strength to mount it back and thought that I had turned into an old woman."

"This is not life." "This is worse than a severe regime prison." "We keep quarrelling every day." "Marisha is shouting at her kids." "I'm often glad that our kids died." "I don't want them to grow up that way." "Valera became a schoolboy this year." "He needs a lot of things." "And we have no money." "Marisha is getting the alimony payments." "That's all." "I don't have anything else to write about." "I wanted to get some sleep during the holidays but they made me march at the demonstration." "I'll go change into street clothes and send this letter to you." "Now what?" "Have you finished reading it?" "Or what?" "You seem not to have done your reading." "You're a literate man." "You've served a sentence in the camps." "What kind of a letter is this?" "For such letters during the war people used to get prison sentences." "Everyone rejoices at the demonstration" "And she dislikes it." "You know, I didn't want to give this letter to you." "But it was followed by a few more." "And I decided to put an end to all that." "And you must do it yourself." "How can I?" " Well." "Write an answer to your wife." "And use the most vigorous language." "It might even extend beyond four pages." "You used to write to her that one must cultivate faith in God." "This faith is much better than all this pessimism." "Tell her that you'll come back soon and get a sizeable salary." "Won't I be released?" "It is quite possible." "Our bosses know better." "You must support your wife and help her to calm down." "After all she's your life companion." "Read the next letter." "Dear Vanya!" "I'd like to inform you about the sad news." "On November 26. 1949 at 13.05 our grandmother died." "When she died, we didn'thave any money to bury her." "Misha lent to us 200 roubles." "It was cheap, but we didn't have any priests or music." "The coffin was simply taken to the cemetery and buried there." "Our house has become a quieter place now." "But it is so empty." "I'm sick myself." "I'm sweating all night long." "Even the pillow and the bedcover get completely wet." "A Gypsy told me that I'd die the next winter." "I'm glad I can shake this life off." "I'm very unfortunate." "I wrote to you in the fall." "It seems to have been two letters." "Don't you get my letters?" "Where do these letters get lost?" "What has happened to them?" "Will you ever be released?" "Potapov!" "Can you hear me?" "Yes, comrade major." "I got too immersed in my thoughts." "Aren't you drunk, by any chance?" "Let me check your breath." "One more breath." "You seem to be sober." "Look at it." "Good evening!" "How are they?" " They are working all the time." "Report it briefly." "We've done a lot of intensive work and came to the conclusion that it might be one of the two people." "Who?" "Presumably it is either Shevron or Volodin." "But we need more time to choose among them." "Phonoscopy is a new science." "It sounds more like guesswork." "What do I need your science for?" "I must find the criminal." "Tell me whether his voice is here." "He isn't scrolling around unnoticed, is he?" "Is he among these five?" " Yes." "I'm sure..." "We're sure that he's among these five." "Are you sure?" " Yes, we're sure." "It is up to you." "I didn't pull your tongues." "I'll go report it to the Minister." "We'll arrest both of these bastards." "Could you wait for another day?" "Let us give you complete proof of your charges." "Set up a mike here and record as much of your proof as you want." " One of them will be innocent." "Are you sure?" "There are no innocent people." "The State Security will find it out." "I'm not here." "You don't know when I'm going to return." "Hello." "Yes." "He's not at home yet." "Who is asking for him?" "Comrade general." "I didn't recognize your voice." "You'll become very rich." "Just a minute." "He's opening the door." "It must be him." "I recognize his gait." "Hold on!" "Inya, don't take off your clothes." "The general is on the phone." "I'm here, comrade minister." "I got it." "On Wednesday." "On Tuesday I'll pass the affairs over." "Some details." "Is the car coming to pick me up?" "I'm ready to leave." "Thanks." "You're in your office, aren't you?" "Can you imagine that?" "On Wednesday I'm leaving for New York." "Congratulations!" "Who else is leaving with you?" "What about you?" "Will you take me along?" " I naturally will." "I surely will." "I love you." "So get dressed." "Do it more slowly than usually." "We're missing the first act anyway." "I'll call you from the ministry." "Don't forget to call me back." "It must be the driver." "I'll open the door." "But this place is very nice." " Really?" "I liked it all." "Don't you remember me?" "I might have seen you somewhere." "I seem to have developed a paranoia." "I kept imagining horrible pictures and tomorrow I'll board a plane in the Vnukovo airport." "Then I'll proceed to London and New York." "Still the fear tends to blow up the thoughts." "This is a mechanical worker from our garage." "Would you mind giving him a lift?" "Go ahead." "Would you mind if I join you here?" "Come on, take a seat." "You'd better lower the glass." "Comrade counselor, would you read this paper to me." "What paper?" " This one." "I'll provide some extra light for your convenience." "The Ministry of the State Security." "Warrant No 138." "Continue reading it on." "Issued on December 26. 1949 to major of the State Security Pavlov so that he could conduct the arrest of Volodin Innokenty Artemievich" "This is a provocation." "Stop the car." "Stop the car immediately!" "Stop the car!" " Sit quietly!" "Hands off me!" " Back to your seat!" "Back to your seat!" " Take your hands off me!" "Stop the car!" "Stop shouting or I'll shoot you right here." "Grigory, give me the handcuffs!" "We've run out of handcuffs for today." "What do you mean?" "This is not our car." "I was given another one." "Then rush!" "Driver!" "You'll be held responsible for this provocation." "I'm serving the Soviet Union, counselor." "We're getting off." "Get out!" "Don't turn back!" "Follow me." "Come in." "Don't look back." "Halt!" "I must refuse everything." "I must do my best to reject all accusations." "Halt!" "Come on in." "Halt!" "Have you seen the arrest order?" "What for?" "Fulfill this order!" "What are you doing?" "You don't have the right to do so!" "We have a warrant and thus we have the right." "Any watches or rings?" "Check his sleeve pins as well." "Take all this away." " What for?" "You'll get a receipt for all these valuables." "Take back your handkerchief." "After your hands..." "Have they torn off my shoulder ships?" "Hands behind your back!" "Leave the room." "Face to the wall!" "Approach it closer!" "Go ahead without trying to look back." "Halt!" "Come on in." "Might the boss be still waiting for me?" "How can I gel to see him even with all these escorts?" "Open the door!" "Open the door, please." "Open the door!" "Open the door, damn it!" "Are you mad?" "Why are you knocking at the door?" "It is strictly forbidden." "There is a penalty for that." "If you need anything, wait until the peephole opens and raise a finger like that without ever saying a word." "Wait!" "Call your boss!" "Why was I arrested?" "If I summon my boss hero, you'll have bigger problems." "Sit here quietly." "Bastard!" "What do you want?" " I need to go to the restroom." "Pat your hands behind your back and leave the cell." "Face to the wall!" "Go ahead." "Halt!" "Face to the wall!" "Well, our precious one, you're calling the shots from now on." "See you." "Where is he?" "It is so dark outside." "And all these guards..." "Simochka, hello!" "I'll stand by the window and watch out." "I don't want anyone interfere with our talk." "What has happened?" "Sima, I'd consider myself a scoundrel." "I wouldn't confess in you today." "I had too an easy way with you without ever giving a proper thought to it." "Yesterday I had an appointment with my wife." "Why didn't you tell me all that on Saturday?" "Simochka, how could I..." "How could I hide it from you?" "I learned about it yesterday morning." "It happened all of a sudden." "We hadn't seen each other for a year." "You know all that." "She waited for me for all these five prison years." "And during the war years as well." "Others don't wait that long." "And she supported me in the labor camp." "She sent me food." "You wanted to wait for me, but it is not..." "I shouldn't have hurt her." "Simochka!" "Don't cry!" "Stop crying, Simochka!" "Don't cry!" "I'm begging you not to." "I'm sorry." "It is all my fault." "Don't cry." "Forgive me." "It might somehow straighten out." "Let some time pass by." "She's wasting her precious life on me right now too." "Are you sure you're capable of that?" "She hasn't divorced you yet?" "Not yet." "Is she pretty?" " For me - yes." "She won't wait for you." "She won't wait for you." "She's already betrayed me." "She won't wait for you." "OK, let her quit waiting for me." "But she won't reproach me for anything." "I would have waited for you." "I'd have waited for you for all my life." "Simochka, dear!" "I'm so sorry." " I'd have waited for you." "Unlike you." "Forgive me." "There are different people in this world." "Very different." "There are people who aren't easy to classify." "You never know whether they are brave or cowardly." "You never know whether he would stand for his people or for the enemies of the people." "There are such people and there are too many of them." "There are such people in our Bolshevik party." "Well, every family had its black sheep." "Such indefinite people who strongly resemble political commoners" "than activists" "Such indefinite people are aptly described by our great Russian writer Gogol" "There are indefinite people" "One may never now what side they are ready to take."
