Is it bad to be an opportunist? Not at all. Yes, on the one hand, we can say that an opportunist is always an egoist, ready to instantly change his point of view and sacrifice moral principles in order to achieve his goal. On the other hand, it is the opportunist who is able to quickly get used to new circumstances and therefore simply survive. It was precisely such a person, who did not remember anything about the future, except for the very fact of his coming from there, and found himself in the Red Army on the eve of grandiose transformations that could both send him to the bottom and elevate him.
