Pol Pot became prime minister of Democratic Kampuchea, Khieu Samphan - President, Ieng Sary foreign minister. However, the separation of "spheres of influence" was conditional. Leaders have accepted the title of "royal", which translated from Khmer means "elder brother", and called each other not by name, but numbers are: "One elder brother," elder brother two.
Nobody in Kampuchea did not know who stands at the head of the country. Moreover, Cambodians did not know that they have the right to "commies". There was no cult of personality, or biographies of leaders, not befitting this portrait. Pol Pot did not give himself photographed. One - later scored hoes - the artist sketched his portrait.

KGB on the instructions of the CPSU Central Committee tried to "make inquiries". Even this powerful organization to obtain sufficient information was not under force. Then the leaders of "brotherly Kampuchea" was sent an invitation to visit the Soviet Union. To relax, bathe in the Black Sea. 'll Be in the end. The answer shocked even the worldly-wise "elders of the Kremlin": can not come, very busy, busy. Next - complete silence.
