If it's only logical to you in hindsight you are not thinking enough like a spy.

ok, dumb question, what spy would head out on a mission like this without testing his equipment at headquarters?

The part where you use the broken camera in lieu of binoculars is pretty characteristic of this game. It's crafty as heck. No wonder I could never get very far in the game.

I've got to agree with this, it's a logical use for the broken camera that would easily come to mind when desperately trying to see the keypad. Then again I grew up on Sierra's brand of moon logic...

There's also one in Casan' and a factory in Moscow. It's only a joke for people looking on (from the outside or backwards). The sort of name that actual Soviet people would find bathetic would be something along the lines of Oyushminald. (And if someone can place that reference, I will in absolute awe)

Do you mean Otto Yulyevich Shmidt?

I'll be honest, I googled it.

That said he is an interesting historical figure.

He recieved three Orders of Lenin, two Orders of Red Banner, an Order of Red Star and several other medals.

Sodium thiopental (the generic name for sodium pentothal) never really worked as a truth serum any better than alcohol, in fact you are more likely to get accurate information from a drunk. That said the lethality of it isn't in doubt, it was a common drug used for executions until the EU stopped exporting it.

There is more to come, by time this game is over the chart will resemble one for 'Gravity's Rainbow'.

I also look forward to introducing a "Mind Control" connection from the professor.

Don't expect to use it a lot, his experiments are only just now reaching a useable form.

Adventure games only really started devolving into rubbing you inventory on everything when interfaces started removing verbs, before that there were normally too many options.

I find it funny that a department meant to investigate KGB corruption (or am I misremembering that?) ended up mostly dead in a botched coup against the government, mostly at their own hands.

Sounds to me like they did a great job of finding corruption.
