:13:03. > :13:05.to find out what happened to him. I decided that now it
:13:06. > :13:08.was my turn to drive. What followed was five years

:13:13. > :13:16.great-grandfather's execution order and the names of the three
:13:17. > :13:23.men who shot him. It suddenly dawned on me that I'd

:13:57. > :14:01.in a giant ditch. What is so remarkable
:14:02. > :14:06.about Denis Karagodin's story is that, in a country
:14:07. > :14:16.that is so secretive about its violent past, he has
:14:17. > :14:21.managed to document everybody he says played a role
:14:22. > :14:25.in his great-grandfather's murder, from the politburo down to the men
