Vladimir Nabokov. El ayudante de dirección
Vladimir Nabokov. THE ASSISTANT PRODUCER
The Soviets could not be much disturbed by the highly improbable prospect of a phantom White Army ever being able to resume war op-erations against their consolidated bulk; but they could be very much irritated by the fact that scraps of information about forts and factories, gathered by elusive W.W. meddlers, were automatically falling into grateful German hands. The Germans were little interested in the re-condite color variations of emigre politics, but what did annoy them was the blunt patriotism of a W.W. president every now and then ob-structing on ethical grounds the smooth flow of friendly collaboration.
