"Terrorist" Gojko Mitic
It Gojko Mitic, known to the older generation as a person who played the role of Indians in European Westerns. Of course, it is as Indian as his horse - mustang, but once his role went beyond the silver screen.
It so happened historically that the friendship between the Dakota Sioux Indians and the Americans did not initially wondered. Attempts to negotiate with the vile Yankees and Indians were unsuccessful. Persistent breach of contract, harassment, destruction of the buffalo, in the end, the eviction of the reservation, the cup will exhaust every Indian. All these resulted in infamy bloody battle at Wounded Knee Creek, which, alas, the Sioux lost. But the story of luck with the Indians is not over, but was rather unexpected continuation 80 years later.
In 1966, the East German cult movie was made about Indians, "The Sons of Great Bear", the main role in which played the legendary Gojko Mitic. The film was a great success in the Soviet Union and Western Europe, but the US refused to aesthetes from him, calling "ersatz westerns." Some East German cultural and ethnographic society "Red Circle" still was driven to the US nedovesterny and thereby gave the Sioux living on the reservation. And the carefully selected films were his story just did mine of ideas for Indian hotheads. [Next]
Plenty inspired by Gojko Mitic, the revolutionaries in 1973 took up arms (not bows and arrows, let me tell you, and rifles and Kalashnikovs, who presented the unknown well-wishers in advance). The Indians took the same town of Wounded Knee, along with locals, well done his defense and have stated their state.
The siege lasted 70 days - a considerable period for such unequal forces. The Indians resisted the police and the FBI threatened hostages scandal to the world, as Marlon Brando, by the way, in solidarity refused Oscar. But, alas, life is not like a socialist movies. Several Indians were killed and suppressed the uprising. Leonard Peltier, one of the leaders managed to escape, but three years later yet appeared in court. And you would not believe, so accustomed to the role that he spoke in his own defense almost word Gojko Mitic from the movie.
Mitic shortly repeatedly threatened that it no longer appeared in the films about Indians, but he bravely like a real Indian, still continued to appear. That's the whole story. Oh yes. Many years later the KGB admitted that provocation theirs handiwork. Perhaps this is one of the most sophisticated and successful provocation of KGB in the Cold War.
