1. I don't remember.
2. One of them was his old friend, alleged resistance fighter, for whom he was suspected and imprisoned.
3. Perhaps the boss was too drunk.
4. Stalin has just died (they were carrying mournfully his portrait on a boat during one scene, with Petrini silently rejoicing for a while). After his death, some abuses were corrected, which was supposedly Petrini's case, too.
5. It's a bad habit of lowlifes in Romania, especially since those were Communist atheists.
