Russian roulette

[David W Kaiser]

I'm not sure about the title, but the game goes back a ways. Towards the
end of "Hero of our Time" Lermontov desribes a scene in which a Serbian
officer puts a gun to his own head in a game of chance, or as they call it
"pre-destination." The name "Russian Roulette" was never used, though.
That's my 2 cents, draw your own conclusions.
