Raikov was a tsunami, an earthquake, a freakin' volcano. He was totally unstoppable, unpredictable, and when it boiled down to it, an absolute nutter. Well, he had to be, to not only sleep with Volgin, but to enjoy it and actively encourage the man in his advances. There had even been a sort of courting, if what the soldiers talked about was true, involving a vole, an iron rod, and the phrase 'you can stick the chocolates where the sun doesn't shin' taken a step too literally.
Oh, yes. You did not get in the way of Ivan Raidenovitch Raikov.
