- JorgeGT 5y agoYes, but it is confusing, was "Ivan" a foreigner? We are told he was an employee of the computer firm, and that the terminals were Italian. He got a diplomatic apartment and there was a translator present in the testing day, plus a "protocol lady" (KGB minder). On the other hand, he had a Lada, so maybe from another Warsav pact country?
