Well. cinema workers are besides in the "ideology front" and special zeal is a great asset to their careers. Gorokhov is an able man. his work had received some prizes abroad. and that is rather like setting himself the collective. By these cases I have tried to exemplify the moral climate to which one has to return when refused a visa. (I dont mention about their difficulties). This may explain to you. dear Ira and Sheila. why the refusants. who are people of very different backgrounds. tastes and views hold so close together. It may also explain why a person thinks not twice but many times before applying.
