A scene from The Hunt for Red October 1990
Ivan Putin

[Captain Ramius has entered his personal quarters to see the zampolit, Ivan Putin, reading his Bible] [reading, in Russian]

"Behold, I am coming as a thief... and he gathered them all together in a place called Armageddon... [English] and the Seventh Angel poured forth his bowl into the air, and a voice cried out from Heaven, saying, "It is done!" A man of your responsibilities reading about the end of the world? And what's this? "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

Ramius

It is an ancient Hindu text, quoted by an American.

Putin

An American?

Ramius

Mmm. He invented the atomic bomb. He was later accused of being a communist.

More from The Hunt for Red October

Capt. Marko Ramius Once more, we play our dangerous game, a game of chess against our old adversary - The American Navy. For forty years, your fathers before you and your older brothers played this game and played it well. But today the game is different. We have the advantage. Capt. Marko Ramius We will pass through the American patrols, past their sonar nets, and lay off their largest city, and listen to their rock and roll... while we conduct missile drills. Capt. Marko Ramius It reminds me of the heady days of Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin when the world trembled at the sound of our rockets. Now they will tremble again - at the sound of our silence. The order is: engage the silent drive.
