• Nadezhda Kutepova : My name is Nadezhda Kutepova and I'm a native of Ozersk. I was born here. We were told we live in a secret place. There were spies all over, sneaking around, gathering information. My mother used to warn me, 'Darling, never say where you are from or a Black Mariah will takes away and you'll never see your parents again. Let state secrets stay secret.'

• Nedezhda Kutepova : When someone goes public, it's much easier to declare him an enemy and fight him, instead of trying to change something in the system.
