Where do the exact dates of Sokolov's (and his family's) defection come from, in 1962? Also, the article implies that his family was evacuated with him, when in fact they were evacuated at different times, whether on the same day or not is never revealed, but they certainly didn't see one another. --Bluerock 20:33, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

Well, here's the thing, Zero mentioned it took two weeks for Sokolov to travel from the Soviet Union all the way to West Berlin, and the arrivial time was stated by Zero to be a week before the Cuban Missile Crisis. Going by what he said in the briefing, he sort of implied that October 14th, the first day of the Cuban Missile Crisis, happened exactly a week afterwards. As for the whole family being evacuated at the same time, I was trying to go by the briefing video. Weedle McHairybug 20:38, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
Ah, I see. Well, I just changed the dates to "late September to early October" to reflect this. We can't assume the word "week" in casual conversation means precisely seven days. --Bluerock 20:52, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
