Из Американского УЧЕНОГО в Советского ЗАКЛЮЧЕННОГО! Изобретатель, шпион - Лев Термен

Lev Theremin is a man whose biography could be the basis for many an action-packed television series. A New York businessman and a Leningrad pensioner, a spy and a prisoner, a Tsarist army officer and a Soviet scientist. He is the creator of the theremin, contactless alarms, security systems, and the Dahlnovid—the prototype of modern television. In the new episode of HOW IT WAS, we'll explore the fascinating biography of Lev Theremin. We'll tell you how the American businessman became a Soviet prisoner, and from there, a Stalin Prize laureate. You'll learn about mechanical television, the thercipton, and the endovibrator, how the scientist attempted to resurrect Lenin and achieve universal immortality through freezing experiments, and how the listening device he invented helped bug the American embassy. And, of course, you'll learn the story of the theremin—the most amazing musical instrument of our time.
