The name of the political officer (equivalent to commissar) in "The Hunt for Red October" (movie) is Ivan Putin. I couldn't find a clip with the beginning of this scene between Putin and Ramius, but the dialogue below segues into the clip. Esp relevant thru about the first 30 sec to something one of you posted about our current admin.
Ramius: What are you doing?
Putin: Overseeing the stability of the crew.
Ramius: By invading my privacy?
Putin: Privacy is not a major concern in the Soviet Union. It is often contrary to the common good.
[Reading from a book belonging to Ramius, quoting the Bible] Behold, I am coming as a thief ... and he gathered them all together in a place called ... Armageddon. And the seventh angel poured his bowl into the air, and a voice cried out from heaven, saying: "It is done."
A man with your responsibilities reading about the end of the world. And what's this? "I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds."
Ramius: It is an ancient Hindu text, quoted by an American.
Putin: An American?
Ramius: Mmm. He invented the atomic bomb, and was later accused of being a communist.
Putin: You wrote and underlined these passages?
Ramius: No. This book belonged to my wife. I keep it for sentimental value.
