In early June 1960 the U.S. ambassador to the UN has shown in New York State Seal of the United States, which hung in the office of the American ambassador in Moscow. It was hidden by a tiny beetle, which being put into action, passed by the Soviet position control everything that was said in the office of ambassador.

It was a passive scutes: no batteries, no wires, no power, nothing that could be detected by antibagov.

Ustryostvo resembled a tiny tadpole with a small tail. Actuated by a source it microwave signal, which forced the receptors tadpole resonate. Voice of the person affect the character of resonance oscillations of the device, allowing the interception of speech. The microphone can operate indefinitely at the expense of long microwave pulses fed him extremely powerful generator at a distance of 300 meters. In the relevant sector of the microphone was held under the name of Chrysostom, and the operation of the office listening to – Confession.

However, experts explained that none of the exhibits is not appropriate for a given problem, since the design features of the microphone require that a souvenir, which was bony plates has been adapted to it, but not vice versa.

And so the microphone should be installed simultaneously with the manufacture of a gift.

The calculation was based on the fact that in any case, neither one nor the other in Artek not go as well as their foreign ministers. Thus, it appears that the celebration had to go to the U.S. ambassador in Moscow, Averell Harriman and his English colleague. On the Mr. Harriman day in Artek solemnly handed a huge, gleaming varnish wooden coat of arms the United States, which for eight years, moved into a top-secret study of U.S. envoy. Moreover, inherent in Coat of Arms Microphone – scutes already survived four ambassadors, regularly performing his secret function.

So we went to the Pamirs – combine two elements in our hobbies. To get to Osh in two ways: having arrived by car and arriving by plane. We went by car. Andrew wanted to see Tashkent and the Fergana Valley. The road lay through Ahangaran, Angren, Namangan and Andijan, which was also attractive, even for myself, who had been in these towns several times.

In the road a lot talked about upcoming plans and decided on the minimum and maximum programs. Gone abroad, and here it is – Kyrgyzstan, Osh, and a few miles from us. In Osh, we were met Mahamadsali, a representative of the "Pamir Ekspedishnc" in Kyrgyzstan. It was evening, and we went to the hotel. By placing Andrew in the room, I accepted an invitation to stay with him Mahamadsali, as he learned that I am a former Oshanin, considered it my duty to show hospitality. The evening was for eating pilaf and talk about our plans. Andrew is a walk through the evening Osh, weary road, fell asleep in the cool air conditioning.

The next day was spent waiting for permits papers and documents. And we do not waste time in vain. Traveled to an area where I lived as a child, went to Mount Suleiman, and of course the "past" in the Osh bazaar. In the evening, having received the documents at hand, we decided to go into the night, as eager to get to BC. Alai Valley night in the car – not the best pastime, but I used to ride at night, did not notice as we crossed the pass Taldyk (3500).
