Vasin was eating alone at a simple wooden table when the news came from the state Soviet radio station Mayak in the empty officers' dining room. "Comrade radio listeners. We interrupt our program due to unpleasant news we have just received from New York." Vasin abruptly raised his head and looked at the bulky speaker as if it were a television screen. "It has been officially announced that John Kennedy, President of the USA, has died in the hospital after falling victim to an attack said to have been carried out by far-right elements. The President of the United States John Kennedy and the Governor of Texas John Connally were shot by assassins while crossing the streets of Dallas in an open car. Three shots were fired. One of the bullets hit the president in the head..." The news could just as well have come from the moon or some distant, warm, and bright planet. Somewhere far away, beyond hundreds of kilometers of tundra and taiga, there was a world where significant events took place. Vasin understood the words of the news bulletin, but his mind could not grasp their image or any meaning.
