The officers of the unit knew about the atmosphere that had developed there, but nobody was taking measures.
"Anatoly Grigorievich Kucherena" is a Russian attorney, public figure, Doctor of Law, and professor. From mid-2013 through 2014, Kucherena represented fugitive former NSA contractor Edward Snowden's interests in the Russian Federation. As of February 2015, Kucherena continued to represent Snowden pro bono on an occasional basis.
In June 2014, American film director Oliver Stone acquired rights to a screen adaptation of Kucherena's novel, Time of the Octopus, the story of fictional American whistleblower Joshua Cold. Threatened by his government and waiting for a decision on his request for Russian asylum, Cold spends three weeks in the transit area of the Moscow airport. Stone said, "Anatoly has written a 'grand inquisitor'-style Russian novel weighing the soul of his fictional whistleblower against the gravity of a '1984' tyranny that has achieved global proportions." The book, first in a "psychological-political thriller trilogy," is set to be released on March 3, 2015, according to state news agency RIA Novosti. The Moscow Times reported that Kucherena said Snowden had already received a copy of the book and liked it.
