...Soviet leaders are preparing to do now" in the way of promised reforms or concessions. Memories of capitalism's Great Depression endure, while the deaths of millions during forced Soviet collectivization in the same period do not.

They debate Stani's skin color (pink or rose?) and attempt to match Stani's eyes to a set of 20 glass eyeballs thoughtfully provided by the Gestapo. Finally they declare him "in better than good health-You're an Aryan! You can become a German." When Stani declines the honor, they...
