Somehow missed this thread. Huzzah to Yuri!

This really is gold, thank you for sharing. “Not only would indiscriminate attacks on civilians be arguably immoral, she points out, they’d potentially invite other countries to do the same, or worse.”

Well, Chekhov fits well between Dostoyevsky and Saltykov-Shchedrin.

Can’t quite access the link, so here it is: the link

To be fair - Johnny Silverhand we meet is a heavily modified verison. Both memories, personality and (possibly) appearance are altered by someone, who may or may not be Yorinobu Arasaka.

Thank you for sharing this; have not actually finished reading just yet. Some “political” connecctions author makes do seem… Very particular. Search for “Marx”, “Lenin”, “Communism” in the document if you would like.
