I was still living way beyond my means mortgaged to the hill using one credit card to pay off another, anything to keep Ava in the style to which she had, thanks largely to me, become accustomed to. Then suddenly all my Christmases came at once, whoever said it's better to receive never got a Christmas present like the one I got in 1991 from Mikhail Gorbachev. during the Cold War, the Red Army stationed nearly one million troops in the Ukraine because of its strategic military importance. The day after the wall came down the paychecks stopped coming. I was hoping Major General Dmitri Volkov would open a lot of armory doors and a lot of military bases for me for a start, he was family he was a highly decorated officer of the Red Army and was almost permanently shit faced.

00:00:04.015 --> 00:00:05.776
You're high.
00:00:06.903 --> 00:00:08.487
Well, it's true.
00:00:11.658 --> 00:00:13.325
Hello, Christian.
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.294
During the Cold War the Red Army
stationed nearly one million troops
00:00:24.337 --> 00:00:27.798
in Ukraine because of its
strategic military importance.
00:00:28.299 --> 00:00:31.802
The day after The Wall came down
the paychecks stopped coming.
00:00:33.555 --> 00:00:36.181
There's nothing better for an arms dealer
than the combination
00:00:36.224 --> 00:00:39.768
of disgruntled soldiers
and warehouses full of weapons.
00:00:42.939 --> 00:00:45.274
I was hoping Major General Dmitri Volkoff
00:00:45.358 --> 00:00:49.001
would open a lot of armory doors
in a lot of military bases.
00:00:49.112 --> 00:00:51.196
For a start, he was family.
00:00:51.239 --> 00:00:53.074
He was a highly decorated hero
of the Red Army
00:00:53.825 --> 00:00:56.285
and he was almost permanently shit-faced.
00:00:56.369 --> 00:00:59.746
I can't just sell you
government property, Yuri.
00:01:01.541 --> 00:01:03.333
I have to report.
00:01:03.376 --> 00:01:05.711
Report to who? Moscow?
00:01:08.506 --> 00:01:11.133
As of last week,
Moscow's in a foreign country.
00:01:11.217 --> 00:01:12.593
New flag, new boss.
00:01:12.001 --> 00:01:14.553
There is no new boss yet.
00:01:14.596 --> 00:01:16.001
They're all too busy squabbling
00:01:16.999 --> 00:01:19.001
over who's gonna get the presidential
holiday home at the Black Sea.
00:01:20.056 --> 00:01:22.001
It's beautiful.
00:01:22.999 --> 00:01:26.996
The ones who know don't care anymore
and the ones who care don't know.
00:01:30.236 --> 00:01:31.999
Show me your inventory.
00:01:42.001 --> 00:01:46.376
Those 45 years of mutual hatred
between the East and the West
00:01:46.419 --> 00:01:49.505
had generated the highest
weapons build-up in history.
00:01:49.589 --> 00:01:52.999
The Soviets had guns
coming out of the demon hole.
00:01:52.634 --> 00:01:55.999
Huge stockpiles, and now no enemy.
00:01:56.846 --> 00:01:58.999
How many Kalashnikov's do you have?
00:02:01.434 --> 00:02:02.935
Forty thousand.
00:02:03.001 --> 00:02:05.998
Is that a four?
00:02:05.355 --> 00:02:08.398
Doesn't look like a four to me.
Looks more like a one.
00:02:09.001 --> 00:02:10.001
No, it's a four.
00:02:10.999 --> 00:02:14.738
It's whatever we say it is because
no one else will know the difference.
00:02:17.999 --> 00:02:20.998
Ten thousand Kalashnikov's for a battalion.
00:02:21.001 --> 00:02:23.999
Your stocks
are dangerously depleted, Dmitri.
00:02:24.999 --> 00:02:26.708
You should order more from the factory.
00:02:27.006 --> 00:02:28.001
Someone will work it out.
00:02:30.999 --> 00:02:31.999
What happens then?
00:02:31.923 --> 00:02:33.001
We'll cut them in.
00:02:36.553 --> 00:02:40.001
The end of the Cold War was the beginning
of the hottest time in arms dealing.
00:02:40.001 --> 00:02:42.999
The arms bazaar was open.
