Long Versts

A man from the past era—the one thrown into the eighteenth year—though he chose a side, still couldn’t bring himself to divide people exclusively by class. He’s too pragmatic for such stupidity. And knowledge of the future makes him search for his own path. That’s why Chur can, with equal ease, knock someone down for calls to a world revolution and for calls to destroy the Soviets. Probably that’s why he assembles his battalion by people who fit him, based only on the individual’s qualities. And there, it doesn’t matter who they are—former baron or yesterday’s peasant. As for those who don’t like such an approach... well, the best red commander is best precisely because he knows how to convince those who disagree—with kind words and with a not-so-kind pistol. Especially since the Treaty of Brest wasn’t signed, and Russia continues its involvement in World War I. And that means there is an unquestionable enemy—one for everyone.
