00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:15.720
Unfortunately, the spirit
of free enterprise is still alive.

00:00:15.760 --> 00:00:20.731
Here they are, followers
of world capitalism.

00:00:26.159 --> 00:00:31.040
These are the hunters for foreign rags,
the black marketeers (fartsovshchiki).

00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:37.080
You might think here, what's the
problem, the boys are just buying
some junk from some foreigners?

00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:44.680
But the fartsovshchiki just begin buying
foreign labels, and soon they've gone
down the dark and dangerous path.

00:00:44.720 --> 00:00:51.268
You are looking at the ex-black marketer Guksenko.

00:00:51.279 --> 00:00:56.919
He is testifying in front of an
investigator for the military prosecution.

00:00:56.959 --> 00:01:00.181
Guksenko's story is not at all complicated.

00:01:00.181 --> 00:01:04.181
Every day he went to the Riga port area.

00:01:04.181 --> 00:01:07.181
Here he could meet foreign sailors.

00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:13.588
Together with his friends,
Guksenko often sought

00:01:13.588 --> 00:01:18.188
these meetings and more
often than not found them.

00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:26.703
Look closely, among the
fartsovshchiks heading

00:01:26.703 --> 00:01:30.703
for sailors of a foreign merchant marine

00:01:30.703 --> 00:01:34.703
is a man on a bicycle. That's Guksenko.

00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:48.108
This time the deal did not come
off successfully. But Guksenko
is an old hand at this,

00:01:48.108 --> 00:01:53.108
he knows that the druzhinniki
who have detained him

00:01:53.108 --> 00:01:57.108
will just scold him and let him go,

00:01:57.108 --> 00:02:01.900
that no charges will be filed
for such a small-time thing.

00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:06.856
This is not the first time
he has been detained,

00:02:06.856 --> 00:02:10.856
warned, or just given some
advice, but the fartsovshchik

00:02:10.856 --> 00:02:14.856
did not chose to follow
the path of honest folk.

00:02:14.880 --> 00:02:18.639
Chewing gum proved to
be the lure that foreign

00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.639
intelligence services snagged him with.

00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:25.639
He has stepped onto the road
to becoming an outright traitor.
