Anastas Mikoyan's unbelievable odyssey included several episodes that this article doesn't mention.
Some of them had been unknown before we started scripting our documentary, and we succeeded

If International Affairs readers don't mind, I won't go into these episodes in this article to save
them for our film, which has the working title Ognennaya krugosvetka (The Fiery Voyage Around
the World) and will be first shown on the Rossiya TV channel this year.
