has two some, Thou& a good fisherman, he is hard on his em-
ployees. His only ambition is to keep his post and to earn premiums and the
praise of the OF. He mercileasly exploits the kolkhoz members, drives the fish-
erman out to sea in storms, never considers their wishes or suggestions.
Michael Korte ? Brigadier, Political Officer and Lanka?s right-hand man. Aged
25, .an ardent Coamaunist. Because of his good relations with the
Party and the Coast Guard, he has a free hand. In 1951, probably to display his
influence, he withdrew the sea permits of all Bolshevik fisherman. The permits
were eventually returned., but the men lost considerable earnings meanwhile.
