Pragmatic and dedicated to his work, he accepted the Soviet regime, even working on several occasions with the Secret Police. But in 1948, while on a state-sponsored trip to the UK to report on the bulk manufacture of antibiotics, he could no longer ignore his rising consciousness of the suppression of independent thought in his country. It was then that he committed high treason by writing to the Soviet ambassador to renounce his citizenship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOne Man in his Time\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of a man trying to live an ordinary life in extraordinary times.
