Quote Explanation: Sudoplatov, an agent of the Soviet secret service, is rubbing into the credibility of Konovalets, the head of Ukrainian nationalists.

Konovalets took me under his wing and often visited me: the two of us wandered around the city. Once he even took me to a performance at the Berlin Opera, but overall there was not much entertainment in my life. The Ukrainian community was very poor, and it was out of the question to afford any luxury. If you were invited to tea, it was customary to bring sugar with you.
Quote Explanation: Pavel Sudoplatov is an agent of the Soviet special services who killed the head of Ukrainian nationalists abroad, Konovalets. Before the execution of the murder, they were practically friends. As bee between the lines Sudoplatov makes a judgment about the level of material well-being of Ukrainians in Germany. It is important - Sudoplatov himself is half Ukrainian, so his opinion is unlikely to be pejorative.
