Building Bridges aka Glasnost in broken time

[havingprecision]

1978 Soviet Russia. It's a bit of a difference from his visit to Russia, but it's also eerily similar. Trade is done in barter versus money, strength is a resouce and his status as a Bratva Captian still means something to the men populating the area. As the video snaps on he's got a heavy jacket on, complete with the epaulets of a Soviet Captain, a couple of bottles of vodka and a bag filled with food.

"До Свидания, друзья!" A salute as he leaves, a call that is echoed by the other Russians in the camp, clearly entertained by the archer.

"Well I'll say one thing - not all of the locals are hostile if you know how to talk to them."

They understand English.
But they appreciate someone making the effort to speak their language.

Guess it's a good thing someone does, then.

Hey, if we can have at least one group that agrees to leave us in peace, I'll take it. [Which will more than make up for the pissed off gangsters and unruly Mongols.]

Between you and Frost, I suppose that's two groups.

[havingprecision]

Make the inroads where you can. You never know when an ally might prove necessary>

[vivifier]

Yeah, somehow I doubt I'll be the one brokering any peace agreements.
