      Hmmm lets examine this statement.

      Isolated weird place, scary Russians, Russian stereotypes of intellectual game + tremendous violence.

      Gee, it almost sounds like this is a too convenient racist lie. Any proof? The oldest reference just says ‘it totally happened’ and cites something I can’t access on Google books. It’s 20 years after the fact and not a primary source.
