This is the official short film adaptation of the classic video game Papers Please.

…made in 2018 by a Russian team. Way before the whole Ukraine war thing, you understand. …though I’d obviously love to hear where they are now.

      Putin wouldn’t be President of Russia if the US and the USSR had been able to settle their differences without a 60 year long series of proxy wars and regime changes. Neither would Trump, for that matter.

      You played yourselves.

        Putin is in power specifically because they settled their differences and Yeltsin was such a drunk idiot that it pushed people to vote for someone who promised stability and prosperity. Putin wasn’t very anti-West until the 2010s. I’m old enough to remember when there was mild talk about Russia joining NATO.
