He is, of course, doomed to be disillusioned and heartbroken--the novel ends hopefully, but the dateline is early morning, Sept. 11, 2001. Still, there's no doubt that he will reillusion himself again, repeatedly, as many times as necessary. He believes in America unshakably, sentimentally, incorrigibly--the way only a Russian...
