You are seventeen. Behind the gymnasium, ahead of life from paycheck to paycheck and service either as an accountant in an accounting office, or as a telegraph operator in the post office. And, perhaps, exile or even hard labor - if you decide to achieve a better share at rallies and in street clashes with political opponents. Well, how can you miss the opportunity not only to rise above the philistines-philistines in one fell swoop, but also to surpass the snobby aristocrats and wealthy capitalists who are able to buy everything, just not the ability to control superpower? True, you don't have to buy it either - you have to take a chance and go through initiation. And even if in case of failure there is no chance to get into a madhouse, the game is definitely worth the candle, because only power and power can give a person true freedom. Alas, there will always be someone bolder and stronger, and the desire for freedom can easily turn into not only hard work to gain power, but also an uncompromising struggle for survival. No matter how you had to sleep half-eyed and sharpened under the pillow at first.
