00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:01,829
|
|
our conversation is with mr. Yuri
|
|
|
|
2
|
|
00:00:01,829 --> 00:00:05,670
|
|
Alexandrovich desmond othe ii when i
|
|
|
|
3
|
|
00:00:05,670 --> 00:00:07,410
|
|
started working for the Soviet embassy
|
|
|
|
4
|
|
00:00:07,410 --> 00:00:11,550
|
|
in India I to my horror I discovered
|
|
|
|
5
|
|
00:00:11,550 --> 00:00:14,219
|
|
that we are millions times more
|
|
|
|
6
|
|
00:00:14,219 --> 00:00:16,500
|
|
oppressive than any colonial or
|
|
|
|
7
|
|
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:18,600
|
|
imperialist power in the history of
|
|
|
|
8
|
|
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,840
|
|
mankind that my country brings to India
|
|
|
|
9
|
|
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,750
|
|
not freedom progress and friendship
|
|
|
|
10
|
|
00:00:24,750 --> 00:00:28,099
|
|
between the nations but racism
|
|
|
|
11
|
|
00:00:28,099 --> 00:00:31,949
|
|
exploitation and slavery and and of
|
|
|
|
12
|
|
00:00:31,949 --> 00:00:33,809
|
|
course economical inefficiency to this
|
|
|
|
13
|
|
00:00:33,809 --> 00:00:36,239
|
|
country since I fell in love with India
|
|
|
|
14
|
|
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:38,730
|
|
I I developed something which by KGB
|
|
|
|
15
|
|
00:00:38,730 --> 00:00:40,950
|
|
standards is extremely dangerous thing
|
|
|
|
16
|
|
00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:43,739
|
|
it's called split loyalty when an agent
|
|
|
|
17
|
|
00:00:43,739 --> 00:00:45,750
|
|
likes a country of assignment more than
|
|
|
|
18
|
|
00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:48,329
|
|
his own country I literally fell in love
|
|
|
|
19
|
|
00:00:48,329 --> 00:00:50,760
|
|
with this beautiful country a country of
|
|
|
|
20
|
|
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,640
|
|
great contrasts but also great humility
|
|
|
|
21
|
|
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,760
|
|
great tolerance and if philosophical and
|
|
|
|
22
|
|
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,309
|
|
intellectual freedoms my ancestors used
|
|
|
|
23
|
|
00:00:59,309 --> 00:01:01,770
|
|
to live in caves and eat raw meat when
|
|
|
|
24
|
|
00:01:01,770 --> 00:01:05,010
|
|
India was highly civilized nation 6000
|
|
|
|
25
|
|
00:01:05,010 --> 00:01:07,770
|
|
years ago so obviously the choice was
|
|
|
|
26
|
|
00:01:07,770 --> 00:01:10,500
|
|
not to the advantage of my own nation I
|
|
|
|
27
|
|
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:13,640
|
|
decided to defect and to entirely
|
|
|
|
28
|
|
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,640
|
|
dissociate myself from the brutal regime
|
|
|
|
29
|
|
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,490
|
|
see first of all because defecting in
|
|
|
|
30
|
|
00:01:20,490 --> 00:01:23,610
|
|
India is virtually impossible thanks to
|
|
|
|
31
|
|
00:01:23,610 --> 00:01:25,200
|
|
very strong pressure from the Soviet
|
|
|
|
32
|
|
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,270
|
|
government excuse me you were in India
|
|
|
|
33
|
|
00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:29,400
|
|
on assignment and yes I was working for
|
|
|
|
34
|
|
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,619
|
|
the Soviet embassy in New Delhi as a
|
|
|
|
35
|
|
00:01:31,619 --> 00:01:37,439
|
|
press officer and defecting for a Soviet
|
|
|
|
36
|
|
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:39,869
|
|
diplomat is next to impossible it's a
|
|
|
|
37
|
|
00:01:39,869 --> 00:01:43,259
|
|
suicide as I said because a great friend
|
|
|
|
38
|
|
00:01:43,259 --> 00:01:46,619
|
|
Indira Gandhi pushed a law through
|
|
|
|
39
|
|
00:01:46,619 --> 00:01:49,070
|
|
Parliament which says and I quote no
|
|
|
|
40
|
|
00:01:49,070 --> 00:01:51,899
|
|
defector from any country has a right of
|
|
|
|
41
|
|
00:01:51,899 --> 00:01:54,600
|
|
political asylum in any embassy on the
|
|
|
|
42
|
|
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,240
|
|
territory of Indian Republic which is a
|
|
|
|
43
|
|
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,549
|
|
masterpiece of hypocrisy no other
|
|
|
|
44
|
|
00:01:59,549 --> 00:02:01,710
|
|
defector but the Soviet one needs a
|
|
|
|
45
|
|
00:02:01,710 --> 00:02:04,530
|
|
political asylum so knowing that
|
|
|
|
46
|
|
00:02:04,530 --> 00:02:09,389
|
|
perfectly well I I planned a craziest
|
|
|
|
47
|
|
00:02:09,389 --> 00:02:11,730
|
|
possible way to defect
|
|
|
|
48
|
|
00:02:11,730 --> 00:02:13,690
|
|
I started counterculture
|
|
|
|
49
|
|
00:02:13,690 --> 00:02:16,360
|
|
in India there are there were thousands
|
|
|
|
50
|
|
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,320
|
|
of young American boys and girls with no
|
|
|
|
51
|
|
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,440
|
|
shoes long hair smoking hash and
|
|
|
|
52
|
|
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,850
|
|
marijuana studying sometimes Indian
|
|
|
|
53
|
|
00:02:27,850 --> 00:02:29,980
|
|
philosophy sometimes simply pretending
|
|
|
|
54
|
|
00:02:29,980 --> 00:02:33,400
|
|
that they study and they greatly annoyed
|
|
|
|
55
|
|
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,840
|
|
Indian police and they were
|
|
|
|
56
|
|
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,450
|
|
laughingstock of Indians because
|
|
|
|
57
|
|
00:02:37,450 --> 00:02:39,010
|
|
obviously they they were
|
|
|
|
58
|
|
00:02:39,010 --> 00:02:42,160
|
|
good-for-nothing students I started
|
|
|
|
59
|
|
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,560
|
|
carefully where they congregate what
|
|
|
|
60
|
|
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,390
|
|
roots they travel what language they
|
|
|
|
61
|
|
00:02:46,390 --> 00:02:49,120
|
|
speak what do they smoke and one day I
|
|
|
|
62
|
|
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,090
|
|
simply joined a group of hippies to
|
|
|
|
63
|
|
00:02:52,090 --> 00:02:55,480
|
|
avoid detection of Indian police I was
|
|
|
|
64
|
|
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,150
|
|
dressed as a typical hippie with blue
|
|
|
|
65
|
|
00:02:58,150 --> 00:03:01,990
|
|
jeans long kameez shirts with all kind
|
|
|
|
66
|
|
00:03:01,990 --> 00:03:04,930
|
|
of nice decorations like beads long
|
|
|
|
67
|
|
00:03:04,930 --> 00:03:09,490
|
|
hairs I bought a wig because for several
|
|
|
|
68
|
|
00:03:09,490 --> 00:03:11,320
|
|
weeks I had to turn myself from a
|
|
|
|
69
|
|
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,140
|
|
conservative Soviet diplomat into a very
|
|
|
|
70
|
|
00:03:14,140 --> 00:03:17,050
|
|
progressive American hippie
|
|
|
|
71
|
|
00:03:17,050 --> 00:03:19,750
|
|
my first assignment was to India as a
|
|
|
|
72
|
|
00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:21,730
|
|
translator with the Soviet economical
|
|
|
|
73
|
|
00:03:21,730 --> 00:03:24,940
|
|
aid group building refinery complexes in
|
|
|
|
74
|
|
00:03:24,940 --> 00:03:26,860
|
|
the heart state and which are at state
|
|
|
|
75
|
|
00:03:26,860 --> 00:03:30,000
|
|
at the time I was still naively
|
|
|
|
76
|
|
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,560
|
|
idealistically believing that what I was
|
|
|
|
77
|
|
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,350
|
|
doing contributes to the understanding
|
|
|
|
78
|
|
00:03:34,350 --> 00:03:38,290
|
|
and cooperation between the nations it
|
|
|
|
79
|
|
00:03:38,290 --> 00:03:40,060
|
|
took me quite a number of years to
|
|
|
|
80
|
|
00:03:40,060 --> 00:03:41,740
|
|
realize that what we were bringing to
|
|
|
|
81
|
|
00:03:41,740 --> 00:03:44,970
|
|
India was a new type of colonialism
|
|
|
|
82
|
|
00:03:44,970 --> 00:03:47,500
|
|
thousand times more oppressive and
|
|
|
|
83
|
|
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:51,100
|
|
exploitative than any colonialism or
|
|
|
|
84
|
|
00:03:51,100 --> 00:03:54,790
|
|
imperialism in history of mankind but at
|
|
|
|
85
|
|
00:03:54,790 --> 00:03:57,100
|
|
that time I was still hoping that well
|
|
|
|
86
|
|
00:03:57,100 --> 00:03:59,110
|
|
maybe it's not that bad could be worse
|
|
|
|
87
|
|
00:03:59,110 --> 00:04:02,260
|
|
and things may go for better and I even
|
|
|
|
88
|
|
00:04:02,260 --> 00:04:05,410
|
|
tried to implement the beautiful Marxist
|
|
|
|
89
|
|
00:04:05,410 --> 00:04:07,210
|
|

|
|
nice indian girl and I was actually I

00:05:06,910 --> 00:05:09,310
|
|
they don't understand that we are

that they are actually being guests a

|
152
|

00:07:00,009 --> 00:07:01,810

|
|
pink nice color and that's the way I I

|
|
|
|
156
|
|
00:07:13,569 --> 00:07:15,789
|
|
time I had to withdraw alcohol from them
|
|
|
|
157
|
|
00:07:15,789 --> 00:07:17,979
|

so that some of them were the most

|
|
|
|
161
|
|
00:07:24,189 --> 00:07:26,139
|
|
time to approach them with all kind of
|
|
|
|
162
|
|
00:07:26,139 --> 00:07:28,689
|
|
nonsense such as joint communique or
|
|
|
|
163
|
|
00:07:28,689 --> 00:07:31,080
|
|

|
|
|
|
164
|
|
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,129
|
|
that's the time they aren't the most
|
|
|
|
165
|
|
00:07:33,129 --> 00:07:36,159
|
|
flexible and of course what they didn't
|
|
|
|
166
|
|
00:07:36,159 --> 00:07:38,289
|
|
understand they didn't realize or
|
|
|
|
167
|
|
00:07:38,289 --> 00:07:40,810
|
|
pretended not to realize that myself who
|
|
|
|
168
|
|
00:07:40,810 --> 00:07:42,880
|
|
was drinking together with them
|
|
|
|
169
|
|
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,190
|
|
was not drinking at all I had ways to
|
|
|
|
170
|
|
00:07:45,190 --> 00:07:47,470
|
|
get rid of alcohol through various
|
|
|
|
171
|
|
00:07:47,470 --> 00:07:50,319
|
|
techniques including special peels which
|
|
|
|
172
|
|
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:52,990
|
|
were given to me by my colleagues but
|
|
|
|
173
|
|
00:07:52,990 --> 00:07:54,669
|
|
they were taking it seriously in other
|
|
|
|
174
|
|
00:07:54,669 --> 00:07:56,349
|
|
words they they they would consume quite
|
|
|
|
175
|
|
00:07:56,349 --> 00:07:59,889
|
|
large volumes of alcohol and feel quite
|
|
|
|
176
|
|
00:07:59,889 --> 00:08:03,849
|
|
uneasy next morning this is the first
|
|
|
|
177
|
|
00:08:03,849 --> 00:08:06,009
|
|
stage of befriending a professor you can

|
|
|
|
183

00:11:26,780 --> 00:11:29,390
|
|
people who lack moral principles who are

self-importance

260
|
|
00:11:40,820 --> 00:11:43,700

|
|
others to execute the others don't they

00:11:51,350 --> 00:11:54,320
|
|
nation for example your leftists in

|
|
|
|
269
|
|
00:12:01,340 --> 00:12:05,180
|
|
process of the of the subversion only to

|
|
|
271
|
|
00:12:06,940 --> 00:12:09,700

|
|
|
|
272
|
|
00:12:09,700 --> 00:12:11,620
|
|
known they are not needed anymore they
|
|
|
|
273
|
|
00:12:11,620 --> 00:12:14,920
|
|
know too much some of them when they get
|
|
|
|
274
|
|
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,870
|
|
disillusioned when they see that Marxist
|
|
|
|
275
|
|
00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:19,030
|
|
Leninist come to power obviously they
|
|
|
|
276
|
|
00:12:19,030 --> 00:12:21,040
|
|
get offended they think that they will
|
|
|
|
277
|
|
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,350
|
|
come to power that will never happen of
|
|
|
|
278
|
|
00:12:23,350 --> 00:12:25,000
|
|
course they will be lined up against the
|
|
|
|
279
|
|
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000
|
|
wall and shot but they may turn into the
|
|
|
|
280
|
|
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,640
|
|
most bitter enemies of Marxist Leninist
|
|
|
|
281
|
|
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,680
|
|
when most of the Indians who were
|
|
|
|
282
|
|
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:35,110
|
|
cooperating with the Soviets especially
|
|
|
|
283
|
|
00:12:35,110 --> 00:12:39,460
|
|
without the Department of Information of
|
|
|
|
284
|
|
00:12:39,460 --> 00:12:42,040
|
|
the USSR embassy were listed for
|
|
|
|
285
|
|
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,520
|
|
execution and when I discovered that
|
|
|
|
286
|
|
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,280
|
|
fact of course I was sick I was mentally
|
|
|
|
287
|
|
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,230
|
|
and physically sick I thought the time
|
|
|
|
288
|
|
00:12:50,230 --> 00:12:52,750
|
|
I'm going to explode one day during the
|
|
|
|
289
|
|
00:12:52,750 --> 00:12:54,430
|
|
briefing at the ambassador's office I
|
|
|
|
290
|
|
00:12:54,430 --> 00:12:56,350
|
|
would stand up and say something that we
|
|
|
|
291
|
|
00:12:56,350 --> 00:12:57,700
|
|
are basically a bunch of murderers
|
|
|
|
292
|
|
00:12:57,700 --> 00:13:00,160
|
|
that's what we are we yeah there's
|
|
|
|
293
|
|
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,690
|
|
nothing to do with friendship and
|
|
|
|
294
|
|
00:13:01,690 --> 00:13:03,460
|
|
understanding between the nation and
|
|
|
|
295
|
|
00:13:03,460 --> 00:13:06,040
|
|
blah blah blah we're murderers we behave
|
|
|
|
296
|
|
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,650
|
|
as a bunch of thugs in the country which
|
|
|
|
297
|
|
00:13:08,650 --> 00:13:10,930
|
|
which is hospitable to us a country
|
|
|
|
298
|
|
00:13:10,930 --> 00:13:14,230
|
|
which which with ancient traditions but
|
|
|
|
299
|
|
00:13:14,230 --> 00:13:16,690
|
|
I I did not the fact I tried to get the
|
|
|
|
300
|
|
00:13:16,690 --> 00:13:18,430
|
|
message across to my horror
|
|
|
|
301
|
|
00:13:18,430 --> 00:13:20,950
|
|
nobody wanted even to listen least of
|
|
|
|
302
|
|
00:13:20,950 --> 00:13:23,890
|
|
all to believe what I had to say and I
|
|
|
|
303
|
|
00:13:23,890 --> 00:13:25,750
|
|
tried all kinds of tricks I would I
|
|
|
|
304
|
|
00:13:25,750 --> 00:13:28,170
|
|
would I would leak information through
|
|
|
|
305
|
|
00:13:28,170 --> 00:13:31,960
|
|
letters or lost documents or something
|
|
|
|
306
|
|
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,150
|
|
like that and still I got no message the
|
|
|
|
307
|
|
00:13:34,150 --> 00:13:36,190
|
|
message was not published even in the
|
|
|
|
308
|
|
00:13:36,190 --> 00:13:39,610
|
|
conservative mass media of India the
|
|
|
|
309
|
|
00:13:39,610 --> 00:13:41,620
|
|
immediate impulse to defect was
|
|
|
|
310
|
|
00:13:41,620 --> 00:13:43,750
|
|
Bangladesh crisis which was described by
|
|
|
|
311
|
|
00:13:43,750 --> 00:13:46,810
|
|
American correspondence as Islamic
|
|
|
|
312
|
|
00:13:46,810 --> 00:13:49,600
|
|
grassroot Revolution which is absolute
|
|
|
|
313
|
|
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,240
|
|
baloney there was nothing to do with
|
|
|
|
314
|
|
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,040
|
|
Islam and there was no grassroot
|
|
|
|
315
|
|
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,420
|
|
revolution actually there are no
|
|
|
|
316
|
|
00:13:55,420 --> 00:13:57,430
|
|
grassroot revolutions period any
|
|
|
|
317
|
|
00:13:57,430 --> 00:13:59,530
|
|
revolution is a byproduct of a highly
|
|
|
|
318
|
|
00:13:59,530 --> 00:14:02,710
|
|
organized group of conscientious and
|
|
|
|
319
|
|
00:14:02,710 --> 00:14:06,070
|
|
professional and organizers but there's
|
|
|
|
320
|
|
00:14:06,070 --> 00:14:08,080
|
|
nothing to do with grassroot in
|
|
|
|
321
|
|
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,390
|
|
Bangladesh it was nothing
|
|
|
|
322
|
|
00:14:10,390 --> 00:14:13,210
|
|
with grassroots most of the Awami League
|
|
|
|
323
|
|
00:14:13,210 --> 00:14:15,670
|
|
party members of a mulignans People's
|
|
|
|
324
|
|
00:14:15,670 --> 00:14:18,850
|
|
Party were trained in Moscow in the hi
|
|
|
|
325
|
|
00:14:18,850 --> 00:14:21,430
|
|
party school most of the Mukti fauj
|
|
|
|
326
|
|
00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:23,800
|
|
leaders Mukti forages in Bengali means
|
|
|
|
327
|
|
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,680
|
|
People's Army same as SWAPO and and all
|
|
|
|
328
|
|
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,630
|
|
kind of Liberation Army's all over the
|
|
|
|
329
|
|
00:14:28,630 --> 00:14:31,089
|
|
world the same bunch of useful idiots
|
|
|
|
330
|
|
00:14:31,089 --> 00:14:32,770
|
|
they were trained at Lumumba University
|
|
|
|
331
|
|
00:14:32,770 --> 00:14:35,770
|
|
and various centres of the KGB in
|
|
|
|
332
|
|
00:14:35,770 --> 00:14:39,240
|
|
Simferopol in in Crimea and in Tashkent
|
|
|
|
333
|
|
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,790
|
|
so when I saw that India Indian
|
|
|
|
334
|
|
00:14:42,790 --> 00:14:45,130
|
|
territory is being used as a jumping
|
|
|
|
335
|
|
00:14:45,130 --> 00:14:47,110
|
|
board to destroy East Pakistan
|
|
|
|
336
|
|
00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:50,170
|
|
I saw myself thousands of so-called
|
|
|
|
337
|
|
00:14:50,170 --> 00:14:53,709
|
|
students traveling through India to East
|
|
|
|
338
|
|
00:14:53,709 --> 00:14:55,900
|
|
Pakistan through the territory of India
|
|
|
|
339
|
|
00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:58,330
|
|
and Indian government pretended not to
|
|
|
|
340
|
|
00:14:58,330 --> 00:15:00,280
|
|
see what was going on they knew
|
|
|
|
341
|
|
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:01,870
|
|
perfectly well the Indian pollutin knew
|
|
|
|
342
|
|
00:15:01,870 --> 00:15:04,120
|
|
it the intelligence Department of Indian
|
|
|
|
343
|
|
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,250
|
|
government knew it the KGB of course
|
|
|
|
344
|
|
00:15:06,250 --> 00:15:08,920
|
|
knew it and the CIA knew it that that
|
|
|
|
345
|
|
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,810
|
|
was most infuriating because when I
|
|
|
|
346
|
|
00:15:10,810 --> 00:15:12,670
|
|
defected and I explained to the CIA
|
|
|
|
347
|
|
00:15:12,670 --> 00:15:15,070
|
|
debriefers they should watch out because
|
|
|
|
348
|
|
00:15:15,070 --> 00:15:16,930
|
|
East Pakistan is going to erupt any
|
|
|
|
349
|
|
00:15:16,930 --> 00:15:19,420
|
|
moment they said I was look I was
|
|
|
|
350
|
|
00:15:19,420 --> 00:15:21,959
|
|
reading to too many James Bond novels
|
|
|
|
351
|
|
00:15:21,959 --> 00:15:25,950
|
|
anyway so East Pakistan was doomed
|
|
|
|
352
|
|
00:15:25,950 --> 00:15:28,839
|
|
one of my colleagues in in the Soviet
|
|
|
|
353
|
|
00:15:28,839 --> 00:15:30,700
|
|
consulate in Calcutta when he was dead
|
|
|
|
354
|
|
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:32,680
|
|
drunk he ventured into the basement to
|
|
|
|
355
|
|
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,410
|
|
relieve himself and he found the big
|
|
|
|
356
|
|
00:15:35,410 --> 00:15:38,380
|
|
boxes which said printed matter to Dhaka
|
|
|
|
357
|
|
00:15:38,380 --> 00:15:39,510
|
|
University
|
|
|
|
358
|
|
00:15:39,510 --> 00:15:41,500
|
|
Dhaka is the capital of East Pakistan
|
|
|
|
359
|
|
00:15:41,500 --> 00:15:44,770
|
|
and since he was drunk and curious he
|
|
|
|
360
|
|
00:15:44,770 --> 00:15:46,330
|
|
opened one of the boxes and he
|
|
|
|
361
|
|
00:15:46,330 --> 00:15:48,100
|
|
discovered not printed metric he
|
|
|
|
362
|
|
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:49,720
|
|
discovered Kalashnikov guns and
|
|
|
|
363
|
|
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,000
|
|
ammunition in there anyway it's a long
|
|
|
|
364
|
|
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,520
|
|
story when I saw the preparations for
|
|
|
|
365
|
|
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,130
|
|
the for the invasion into East Pakistan
|
|
|
|
366
|
|
00:15:57,130 --> 00:15:59,700
|
|
obviously I wanted to defect immediately
|
|
|
|
367
|
|
00:15:59,700 --> 00:16:02,589
|
|
the only thing I couldn't I couldn't at
|
|
|
|
368
|
|
00:16:02,589 --> 00:16:05,620
|
|
that time make up my mind when and where
|
|
|
|
369
|
|
00:16:05,620 --> 00:16:08,470
|
|
and how one of the reasons of course you
|
|
|
|
370
|
|
00:16:08,470 --> 00:16:10,839
|
|
see I was in love with the India I
|
|
|
|
371
|
|
00:16:10,839 --> 00:16:12,970
|
|
mentioned it before I spoke the
|
|
|
|
372
|
|
00:16:12,970 --> 00:16:16,000
|
|
languages I socialized with people and I
|
|
|
|
373
|
|
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,570
|
|
understood that I had to act fast unless
|
|
|
|
374
|
|
00:16:19,570 --> 00:16:21,810
|
|
I want this beautiful country to be
|
|
|
|
375
|
|
00:16:21,810 --> 00:16:24,579
|
|
permanently and irreparably damaged by
|
|
|
|
376
|
|
00:16:24,579 --> 00:16:26,160
|
|
our presence

|
|
|
377
|

00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:36,220
