[13:48 - 14:25] The Cynicism of Power and Prison Humor
What's going on? What, he says? They said, 'Well, somehow, the people who believe in me, they, well, they gave me such an opportunity.' The people who believe in me. We have a lot of prison humor in Russia. Because this rotation of guards and prisoners, outcasts and persecutors, on a historical scale over the last 100-plus years, starting even with the Decembrists' hard labor, it all got mixed together, a kind of compote. This is such a mixing.
