City 40 Page #5

Synopsis: Deep in Russia, there is an invisible city that houses thousands of men, women and children who live and work behind double barbed-wire fences monitored by armed guards. They are told that they are the creators of the nuclear shield and saviors of the world. They are told that everyone is an enemy. In this hidden world, a mother risks her life to take us inside Russia's largest nuclear city.

This is not just words, this is real,

and we are strengthening our forces

of nuclear containment.

They are more compact now,

but they're also more efficient.

They're more modern.

They have modern weaponry.

This is not to threaten anybody.

This is just for us to feel protected.

We do not want it,

and we aren't going to do it.

Of course, we should always be ready

to repel any aggression,

any attack on Russia,

regardless of the situation

our partner nations are in.

They should always realize

they would be better off

not messing with us.

I love my motherland,

this small piece of land which is my home.

I hate this government that exists

on my land.

I love these trees, these mushrooms,

this water, the fish in it.

But I can't be at peace with this regime.

I can't live with this.

It is difficult for me to imagine

that the state, the authorities,

still allow people to live in that area.

Because, I mean, this...

This is really a nightmare.

And I really feel about...

I think there is a certain "blindness"

in our people.

A certain pride...

not unexplainable.

"We are special,

we are from a closed city..."

In fact, they are ordinary people,

nothing special.

In reality, it's difficult to leave

and I faced that myself.

If you account for the opinions

of many people

and, as a journalist, I speak with many,

people always want to have stability.

"It may be for the better,

it may be for the worse,

but for now just leave us alone, please.

Let me live quietly."

I always had an inner desire

to break free

from this confinement.

Unfortunately, as fate would have it,

this town won't let me go.

No matter how many times I try to leave,

seemingly forever,

fate keeps bringing me back.

Of course, I worry about my safety,

but I don't know what to do about that.

I want to go on helping the people

who everybody else has turned away.

We will work behind enemy lines,

like our partisans did in World War II.
