Pogorelich was quite unlucky afterwards. I wish the world hadn't be so harsh on him and had seen that this is a very sensitive and even normal (non- schizofrenic, by all means) person who was making the best of his immense talent against al ods! I wonder if he ever cursed himself for his talent and wished he'd become a post deliverer or so (not to say that that's not honourable).
It's a shame that the western interviewer was primarily interested into giving a bad picture of Communism, like a postulate, in spite of the fact that she had no direct experience of that, whilst the young pianist actually had! In these two minutes you can see all the fragility of western propaganda, because a communist country educated this original genius, whilst a conformist country produced this mean interviewer.
Communist country Yugoslavia?! How ignorant is this moderator! Yugoslavia was socialist country, and non aligned. Ppl could travel to the East and West without visas.
@@ivana106102 I beg to differ. I'm Australian and one of my father's closest friends at work was a Serbian called Vayo (maybe I have got the spelling wrong). The thing is this man would travel back home from Sydney to visit his family and friends almost every year. He never gave us the impression his country was a prison, as you say. And no, he wasn't a government official, he was a Bedford truck factory worker in 1970s Sydney.
