Stary Dub is a town in Czech Rep. Also, always funny, how much of the vocabulary is the same between German and Russian (Graf, Lanz[e], Degen, plus German city names in Russia - Peterburg, Kronstadt, Ekaterinburg ...). The rank of Yefreytor mirrors the German "Gefreiter", for example.

Fridemaker = Friedensmacher = Peacemaker ... what's the story there? :unsure:
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
