Russian Interpreter, rape story / Tverskaya,, 12 May 1996

Steven Galster interviews his Russian interpreter, who also runs a "mail-order bride" business. She tells the story of an American man who met a Ukrainian girl through an agency. The interpreter rented her apartment out to the man during his stay in Russia. She says that the girl told her that the man was very greedy, but she wanted to stay with him to get as much money as possible from him. One night, he spent a lot of money on tickets for a concert, then started demanding sex from the girl. He raped her, bit her and stole her money. The girl managed to escape and call the police, but the police could not take any action against the man because he was American. The interpreter called the agency that sent the man and complained, but they did not care either. When the man left, he locked the Russian interpreter's apartment and took the key. The interpreter shows Galster the apartment door, and the lock that she had to break in order to get back into her apartment.

The tape also contains nighttime footage of Tverskaya Street in Moscow. Shots of nightlife, group of women walking down the street, a woman getting into a police van, a group of women standing together, a woman getting into a car that drives away.
