Trivia

The heroes of the game - Vich, Petka, and Anka - are in fact historical figures. Vich (actually Vasilij Ivanovich Chapaev) is a hero of the Civil War in Russia (1918). Fighting on the side of the Red Army, Chapaev was known for his courage and physical strength (he liked fighting with a scimitar). Petka and Anka were young soldiers, Chapaev's assistants. During the existence of Soviet Union, Chapaev was idolized, and the stories about his heroic deeds became part of the official state propaganda. Naturally, countless jokes about Chapaev and his friends appeared as a reaction to the cult. In the jokes, Chapaev is a dirty idiot, who thinks only about vodka. The heroes of the game resemble the characters from the widely popular jokes much more than the real ones. As an example, here is a typical Chapaev joke:

Vasilij Ivanovich and Petka catch an officer of the White Army and bring him to the headquarters.

Vasilij Ivanovich: So, Petka, how should we torture this bourgeoise swine? Beat him up?

Petka: Why not, that's a good idea...

Vasilij Ivanovich: Maybe burn him?

Petka: Even better.

Vasilij Ivanovich: Or peel his skin off?

Petka: Sure, let's try.

Vasilij Ivanovich: Or maybe let him smell my socks?

Petka (indignantly): Vasilij Ivanovich! Do I look like a sadist to you?!
