To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Memories of how quickly he had fallen from a height few Russian engineers ever reached hung around him in a shroud, as ominous and ugly as the “black dog” of depression that Winston Churchill complained of in his writings.As he was the founder of the TsAGI, the Central Aero-Hydrodynamics Institute, a member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, and a holder of the highest award of the motherland, the Order of Lenin, his position seemed unassailable. One successful aircraft after another flowed from h...is design bureau, including the largest in the world, the Maxim Gorky. His aircraft made long-distance flights, set records, were used by the Soviet Air Force. Yet on the morning of October 21, 1937, four members of the dreaded NKVD arrested him. In an absurd cover story, he was charged with selling the plans of the Messerschmitt Bf 110 twin-engine fighter to Germany. The real charges were far more serious, alleging that Tupolev was leading a mutinous organization within the Soviet aviation industry and personally committing sabotage as an agent of French intelligence.The last charge had frightened him most, for although it was totally false, there were circumstances that could be misinterpreted.
