Could someone who speaks Russian please translate the parts of this video where they interview Boris Chertok? These are at 7:50, 8:25, and 9:15. Here's the video:

Thanks in advance for your help!

Since no one jumped in I, with your kind permission, will give it a go.

7:50
[I can’t catch the first word or two] … to send for Glushko, a chief designer from Kazan. Glushko arrived under guard to the Kremlin as a prisoner. He met Stalin and informed him about those projects we were working on, without knowing what Germans developed. He walked out of the Kremlin as a free man.

8:25
The list that Glushko gave Stalin included his assistant Korolev who, at last, became a free man in July 1944 as well with the removal of a record of conviction.

9:15
He forgot to release the handbrake and they drove 20 km this way and burned the handbrake. Pelugin and I addressed him: “Why didn’t you do something?”
“Valentin Petrovich forbade me to advise him and I, on principle, didn’t.”
This is a distinctive characteristic of Glushko’s character.
