when there was a realization in the KGB
00:00:04.034 --> 00:00:06.095

00:00:06.095 --> 00:00:09.031

00:00:09.031 --> 00:00:10.069
means of getting things done,
00:00:10.069 --> 00:00:14.041
and this was the time to leverage this into personal fortune
00:00:14.041 --> 00:00:17.022
because all of the vast reserves of foreign currency
00:00:17.022 --> 00:00:20.009
that were at the KGB's disposal overseas,
00:00:20.009 --> 00:00:22.005
