Are you bored with me,
But I'm not with you.
As a person, you are a piece,
There are no such people in the world.

You are being released somewhere
No more than five,
How the satellite is launched
In an unknown steppe.

Gennady Shpalikov

(a verse performed by the hero Sergei Gilev)

How does the Bison know that Lumiere is standing in this room? How did he know that Lumier would not escape from his room in case of a fire? How did the Bison know that it was Lumier and not another boss? How did Steklov's hero find out that a Bison is now in the apartment to give such an order. He did not see him in this crowd, and his spies did not see him, in any case, it is not shown. If the ticket was thrown into a box at the cinema, then the connection was one-way, how did the agents get to Lumier if they wanted to get in touch themselves? Why did the KGB want to publish a dissident pseudo-novel, which offered the publisher any money? To defame Stoletov that he didn't have any affair? To whom? In front of the publisher? And what did it give them? Well, the writer lied, he didn't have any masterpiece, what did it give the KGB? If the manuscript was not a novel, then what did this naive child bring to Stoletov? The writers, they didn't work at a military factory, they had no ties with the defense industry. The list of corrupt officials of the USSR, well, this is for the CIA, I think it was not a secret and not a fountain of information.
