Quote From the Book

"And all this is so that the people can eat McDonald's and buy Levi jeans and talk on their mobile telephones Red Square!"

General Sarov hated Americans because he believes that they brought down the communism which made Russia a strong country. So he wants to get the power back with his nuclear bomb. And he hates American goods flooding in Russia like McDonald's and Levi's jeans. He is a extremist and also very patriotic.
