It might end up being Arkady will have to (much to personal distate) ask Oleg to use his connections to help save Nina. But he's convinced, and with good reason, that people like Oleg who haven't experienced the privations and hardships that came with growing up after the war are the kind of people who'll happily help the Soviet Union go to hell in a handbasket if it means more for them.
(He's not wrong, either, in retrospect, but from a 1980s perspective Arkady's one minor concession to asking Oleg could be seen as a step to condoning the kind of things Oleg does to get extra pull for himself, which I think he would not like to have to deal with.)
