What Do They Call Russian Roulette in Russia?

Russian roulette is a dangerous game where a player, typically with a gun, spins the barrel of the firearm while it is held in their hand. Each time the barrel is spun, the player has the option to pull the trigger, and if they do, they risk shooting themselves.

If they don’t pull the trigger, they can release the gun and it will stop on an empty chamber.

Russian roulette is often played as a way to gamble, and it’s not uncommon for people to play with money or other valuable items. It’s also been known to be used as a way to commit suicide.

In Russia, Russian roulette is often called “baltazarovka” after Ivan Baltazarov, a Russian nobleman who is said to have invented the game in 1836.
