I recently watched a new film of German production, he called "Babylon-Berlin". The film tells about the peak of the Cold War. The main character is the Stasi agent (Secret Service of the GDR.)
He was sent to West Berlin to carry out espionage activities. I was amused by the fact that the filmmakers make the protagonist compassionate.)) And it clearly shows the intentions of the Americans, who do not care that at the beginning of a real war, the FRG will suffer first. The government of Germany tries to explain this to the representative of the American government. Americans do not give a damn, they do not pay attention to Germany, and continue to deploy the Rocket installations on their territory. The German says, they'll ravage us, and you'll hide behind the ocean! The American begins to arrogantly threaten!
So, at the beginning of the film, when the agent arrived in West Berlin, he met with a resident who taught him how to live in a capitalist society. He said, Western democracy is when everyone does not care about each other, and when it is absolutely not important to a person what is happening around, the main thing is that everything should be normal for him! Everything is normal until the time when this person is in trouble in life, and then he begins to understand exactly what is democracy !! When asked for in garbage and no one needs, no one will help and will not support, even close ones !! And what kind of democracy is this ?? !! ?? When, if you are strong, you are absolutely unpunished, you can humiliate the weak !!

you probably think that the ancestor of electronic music was Elvis Presley?))) No, you are mistaken, the creator of the first electronic musical instrument was Russian!

Now back to history! Imagine a kind of democratic person who, at a time when his country and nation is on the brink of extinction from hunger, and he himself, can help a lot, so that this does not happen !!
But this man flies to America for money and a luxurious life !! Now carefully-quote from Wikipedia:
"Theremin abruptly returned to the
Soviet Union in 1938. At the time, the reasons for his return were unclear; some claimed that he was simply homesick, while others believed that he had been kidnapped by Soviet officials. Beryl Campbell, one of Theremin's dancers, said his wife Lavinia "called to say that he had been kidnapped from his studio" and that "some Russians had come in" and that she felt that he was going to be spirited out of the country.

Many years later, it was revealed that
Theremin had returned to his native land due to tax and financial difficulties in the United States."

Now imagine and put yourself in the place of the leader of the country that sleeps two hours a day, works in his Kremlin office, meets people, tries to somehow level the situation in the country!!
Historical reference:
"On the night of September 4 to September 5, 1943, three metropolitans of the Russian Orthodox Church were summoned to the Joseph Stalin in the Kremlin. The result of this historic meeting was the election of a new Patriarch, the re-creation of spiritual schools in the Soviet Union and the amnesty of a number of convicted priests."
Once again, what would the head of this country do with such a "democratic citizen" ?? !! ... you are right))) .. only
"Sharashka" - nothing else !!
