To the haters who come here to dig up info about me, happy hunting!

Yes, I know what an apparatchik is, thanks to years of Russian language study. Why do I use the name? Maybe it’s ironic. Maybe I just like it. Maybe I have felt stuck in a large organization with little imagination or creativity, or room for advancement. Maybe it’s a way to distinguish myself from the privileged nomenklatura alongside whom I have served.

Anyway, feeble attempts by the haters here to use it against me and imply that I am not a loyal and patriotic American have zero merit, given my long service as a member of the US Armed Forces, particularly in combatting Soviet aggression and terrorism.

For the sake of avoiding being doxxed by the nitpickers and haters who will use any detail about me to discredit me, no matter how pathetically minuscule and petty, I will not say more here.
