He evidently must have been fairly militant over there, or fairly, could I say not friendly, because he told me of one instance where the fellows at the factory were studying night course in English or something, and they came to him and wanted him to help them, and he helped them once or twice, but then he came to the conclusion they were lazy and he threw them out and told them he didn't want to help them any more. Evidently, he wasn't too friendly over there, so I doubt if he had too many acquaintances.
Mr. Liebeler. Is that all he told you about the incident when the fellow factory workers were trying to learn English?
Mr. Gregory. Yes; and I think one fellow, Pavel, he came to Lee to help him with his English and he said this fellow was a good student, and he evidently gave him quite a bit of help.
Mr. Liebeler. Lee gave quite a bit of help to Pavel and Pavel was trying to learn English?
Mr. Gregory. Yes; but the other fellows he thought were lazy and refused to pay attention.
Mr. Liebeler. Did he indicate whether Pavel gave him any assistance in learning Russian?
Mr. Gregory. No.
Mr. Liebeler. Or whether he received any other training in the Russian language while he was in the Soviet Union?
Mr. Gregory. The only thing he said he learned in the factory when he went over there, he said he didn't know anything, and when they just stuck him in a factory, he said he picked it up there, and Marina helped him quite a bit.
Marina told me that Lee's Russian when I was with him was bad compared to the Russian Lee spoke while he was in the Soviet Union.
