Well, all two of them, all two of them that I'm aware of.
I'm glad you brought that one up first, because to my mind, and I hope to your mind and the mind of the reader, it simultaneously evokes two things, a theater, like where this takes place, but also a theater of war.
In the context of war, anyone who's read about war thinks of theater.
So hopefully it brings to mind two ideas at once.
Including in oneself.
There are people in this book who will not mentally survive.
There are people in this book who simply will not be able to put the theater behind them, and it will be the end of them mentally.
Sergei, for example, who I last saw in Tallinn, and he could barely stand up.
He was so drunk.
Then there are people who were made stronger by this experience.
Survival is, I don't know that it's a choice.
It might be something innate.
The ability to survive might be, at least mentally, might be innate in some and lacking in others.
I say the word Russia, you think what?
All right.
Well, you and I, you're a little bit older than me, but you and I grew up in roughly the same time, which is to say the Cold War.
So you can't say Russia to you or me without some of the most awful implications, right?
We're just conditioned to think that way by American popular culture, American education.
Rocky IV, James.
