This is Igor Sikorsky, the creator of the helicopter - a machine that, unlike an airplane, can fly almost anywhere where there is air. Sikorsky was born in Kyiv, built the world's first passenger airliner in St. Petersburg, and after the Bolsheviks came to power, he left for the United States, where he became famous (American presidents still fly to the White House lawn in his helicopter). Sikorsky considered himself Russian all his life. Who was this brilliant engineer, patriot, emigrant, convinced anti-Soviet, whom Molotov personally called to return?
