The time lapse (OAS to Trotsky) the French domestic politics at the time consists of bomb explosions and their traces. With the perseverance of the OAS, to terrorize, the helplessness of the police joined forces, to tackle terrorism.
More recently France left on the street, goes to demonstrate against the illegal tyranny of the OAS, but the Parisian police intervened against protesters at the double-quick and managed order at any price. The charm of Paris languishing under rubber truncheons.
While French domestic politics devoted to the demonstrative step backwards, the West tried to make foreign policy progress with an East West deal. The spy Iwanowitsch Abel, convicted of espionage against America and Russia to 30 years in jail was exchanged in Berlin against Francis Gary powers. World politics had muddled by a botched spy flight in a U-2 almost two years ago significantly powers. A Soviet Court condemned him to 10 years in prison at the time.

And from his songs sounds the melancholy memory of a time when he was allowed to be another Prince in Imperial Russia, and his teachers included the most famous icon painters of the time.

The big story this is Völklingen, a small town on the outskirts of Saarbrücken's. Ironworks and winding towers define the skyline of the city. Many of its inhabitants live of the coal. The Luisenthal mine working alone 5,000 men. Their work is hard. But the coal fed them, and they lived in peace. Happened to the accident in the mine.
(Original - tone)
When the first ambulance left the pits area, the rapidly growing crowd outside the gates believes in a mine disaster by limited. No signs of a catastrophe.
The first rescue teams from the contaminated gas disaster galleries return fought off and resigned. The first message will be announced for the members. And slowly, the number of victims becomes visible. The rescue teams carry fewer and fewer survivors - and more and more deaths.
People wait outside. More and more get certainty. Then wait No more.
Only a few survived the firedamp explosion at a depth of 600 meters. An eye-witness, which succeeded in the Flueht from the Inferno, told us: (original sound) stand three days later In the shadow of both shaft towers in Luisenthal, in a park on the edge of the Colliery, 287 coffins. Their endless rows disappear under a sea of wreaths and flowers. Around them, the mourners gather around together with the family to say goodbye by the dead miners.
