For this women.

Almost everyone we met were fiercly on the side of independence. They hated the ussr, and have several museums dedicated to the autrocities under kgb rule. You could be turned in by anyone for any reason or no reason. It didnt matter to interrogators.

But this woman was different, which is why it was so notable.
