The Petrograd Inflitrators Hello‚ I have no name. I am just a part of the masses that overthrew the corrupt Provisional Government.

I hate winter and my radio wants me dead. You heard me: dead. Actually‚ I can’t say with confidence that it’s the radio at all. I’ve swapped it out three times‚ finally settling on an ancient cassette deck excavated from a musty box in my garage.
