[Medvedev Responds to Whether He Trusts Trump with Movie Dialogue]
On May 20, Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, quoted a line from the Soviet film "Seventeen Moments of Spring" to respond to the question of whether he trusts the US President Donald Trump.
Medvedev mentioned that in the film, Leonid Bronevoy's character said, "Do not trust anyone, except myself." He stated, "The first part of this sentence fits the current situation very well."
On May 19, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump had a more than two-hour phone conversation. Medvedev's remarks carry profound implications. The film "Seventeen Moments of Spring" depicts the final moments before the collapse of Nazi Germany, where a Soviet intelligence agent who had been undercover in the German SS for twenty years uncovered plans for separate peace negotiations between senior German officers and the British and Americans.
