What is Russian Roulette?

Russian roulette is a life and death game that involves traditionally two players, a revolver, and one bullet. The bullet is placed in a chamber of the gun's cylinder, the cylinder is spun, and one player aims the revolver at their head and pulls the trigger. if the gun does not go off the second player repeats the actions of the first. Depending on the players, the cylinder of the gun may or may not be spun again. Play continues until one player blows their brains out and ends the contest. It can involve up to 8 players, depending on the gun, and no one looses except the person who shot themselves with the one bullet. It is known as Russian roulette because of legends surrounding Russian soldiers between 1895 to 1930 when the standard issue firearm was the Nagant M1985 which had 7 chambers. Allegedly, Russian soldiers had suicidal tendancies and invented the game as a show of bravery, though in the autobiographies The Duel (1905) by Aleksandr Kuprin From Double Eagle to Red Flag (1921) by Pyotr Krasnov the game is never mentioned.
