“You must learn to think in Russian.”
Ok comrade, it’s good plane, but where do I put my vodka bottle?

Oh darn. You beat me to it.
EXACTLY what I was going to post.
Good job!

“You must learn to think in Russian.”
—
Step 1: Acquire liberal supply of cheap plastic bottled Vodka made in China with war themed labels.
Step 2: Have large amounts of cash for all necessary bribes.
Step 3: Secure ‘protective’ services.
Step: 4 know who you can steal from;
A. Is the party better connected than you or above you in rank? don’t steal.
B. Is the party lower than you or weaker? Steal.
B1. In the case of stealing from A, make sure your health benefits are paid in full, stay on lower floors of buildings, watch out for men in overcoats with umbrellas, hire food taster.
Step 5: Lodge yourself in some niche that precludes any military service or at least makes you too valuable to higher ups to be sent to the front.
Step 6: Congratulations!! You have completed the course and can now think in Russian.
Step 7: If your higher up is sent to the front, take out more life insurance, pack your bags, buy all necessary PPE like armored vest plates, helmet (to bribe officers for things like a complete fitting uniform, boots with no holes, a rifle without rust, and bullets), chose the floral arrangements and marker for your grave, and await the summons.
