PREFACE

It’s been one of the great privileges of my professional life that, together with my various production teams, I was able to travel across the former Soviet Union and meet people who had never felt able to talk publicly about the history before. . . . If the Berlin Wall had not fallen, and the Soviet Union had not subsequently collapsed, these witnesses of epic events could never have talked of their experiences without fear of etributon. Their stories would have been lost for ever. ~ xvi
