mention some high up guy who was a secretary of Stalin's. He indeed looked like an accountant, but was, if memory serves, a long-time secret police boss. Look at Himmler: he'd fit into anyone's bourgeois picture book.
The "average" guy certainly can become what we call a cold-blooded, mechanistic killer. From China to Russia to Germany to Chile and El Salvador and Cambodia, history shows mass murdering isn't the purview of the few, but rather of faceless multitudes exactly like your guy. And they function, day in and day out, heartlessly, because they're just "doing their job." No responsibility. Just cogs in their social machine.
To me, they're far scarier than any Hollywood-drama character with his leather mask and chainsaw.
Anyhow, Solshie is next on the list.
And consider this a second invitation to "Russian Empire." The host is something we don't have here: young, visibly enthusiastic, and highly intelligent. A delightful guide.
