Q: Phonegap's Facebook Connect plugin - making it work with web app as well as native apps? I've got the FB Connect plugin working with my Phonegap project native apps, but now I'm wondering what the workflow is for making it work with the web-app version.
When I run the web-app version, I get the standard Phonegap FB Connect errors, the last one being 'FB variable does not exist. Check that you have included the Facebook JS SDK file.' - this makes sense, as my web app doesn't have those js files, as they get injected during the PG Build process.
So what is the typical way of moving forward at that point? Can I use that last error as a way of determining 'ok, this is the web-app version, not native', and then what do I do next? Should have the Facebook SDK installed on my web-app?
Cheers

A: The git repo has steps for including the plugin in web app
Web App
www/js/facebookConnectPlugin.js contains the JavaScript SDK and API file. The API matches as close as possible to the native APIs.
Setup Web App Example
Host the www folder on a server and configure your Facebook dashboard correctly to test the Web APIs. Most people use Parse for easy testing.
NOTE : Developers should call facebookConnectPlugin.browserInit() before login - Web App ONLY

(ii) The actor believes that the person against whom he uses force has no claim of right to the possession of the property and, in the case of land, the circumstances, as the actor believes them to be, are of such urgency that it would be an exceptional hardship to postpone the entry or reentry until a court order is obtained.
(c) A person who has a license to use or occupy real property is deemed to be in possession thereof except against the licenser acting under claim of right.
(c) Substantial harm will be done to the physical condition of the property which is sought to be protected before the request can effectively be made.
(4) The use of force to prevent or terminate a trespass is not justifiable under this section if the actor knows that the exclusion of the trespasser will expose him to substantial danger of serious bodily harm.
(b) It is otherwise justifiable under subdivision (1)(b) of this section.
(ii) The use of force other than deadly force to prevent the commission or the consummation of the crime would expose the actor or another in his presence to substantial danger of serious bodily harm.
(7) The justification afforded by this section extends to the use of confinement as protective force only if the actor takes all reasonable measures to terminate the confinement as soon as he knows that he can do so with safety to the property, unless the person confined has been arrested on a charge of crime.
(c) Such device is one customarily used for such a purpose or reasonable care is taken to make known to probable intruders the fact that it is used.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal authorities are investigating dozens of new cases of possible opioid and other drug theft by employees at Veterans Affairs hospitals, a sign the problem isn't going away as more prescriptions disappear.
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald (reflected in doors, facing reporters) delivers an apology, for recent misstatements about his military record, to reporters outside VA headquarters in Washington, February 24, 2015.
Data obtained by The Associated Press show 36 criminal investigations opened by the VA inspector general's office from Oct. 1 through May 19. It brings the total number of open criminal cases to 108 involving theft or unauthorized drug use. Most of those probes typically lead to criminal charges.
The numbers are an increase from a similar period in the previous year. The VA has pledged "zero tolerance" in drug thefts following an AP story in February about a sharp rise in reported cases of stolen or missing drugs at the VA since 2009. Doctors, nurses or pharmacy staff in the VA's network of more than 160 medical centers and 1,000 clinics are suspected of siphoning away controlled substances for their own use or street sale — sometimes to the harm of patients — or drugs simply vanished without explanation.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said AP's findings were "troubling." He urged Congress to pass bipartisan accountability legislation he was co-sponsoring that would give the agency "the tools needed to dismiss employees engaged in misconduct." The Senate is set to vote on the bill June 6.
"The theft and misuse of prescription drugs, including opioids, by some VA employees is a good example of why we need greater accountability at the VA," Rubio said.
"Prescription drug diversion is a multifaceted, egregious health care issue," said Jeffrey Hughes, the acting VA assistant inspector general for investigations. "Veterans may be denied necessary medications or their proper dosage and medical records may contain false information to hide the diversion, further putting veterans' health at risk."
Responding, the VA said it was working to develop additional policies "to improve drug safety and reduce drug theft and diversion across the entire health care system."
"We have security protocols in place and will continue to work hard to improve it," Poonam Alaigh, VA's acting undersecretary for health, told the AP.
Hughes cited in particular the risk of patient harm. "Health care providers who divert for personal use may be providing care while under the influence of narcotics," he said.
AP's story in February had figures documenting the sharp rise in drug thefts at federal hospitals, most of them VA facilities. Subsequently released DEA data provide more specific details of the problem at the VA. Drug losses or theft increased from 237 in 2009 to 2,844 in 2015, before dipping to 2,397 last year. In only about 3 percent of those cases have doctors, nurses or pharmacy employees been disciplined, according to VA data.
At private hospitals, reported drug losses or theft also rose — from 2,023 in 2009 to 3,185 in 2015, before falling slightly to 3,154 last year. There is a bigger pool of private U.S. hospitals, at least 4,369, according to the American Hospital Association. That means the rate of drug loss or theft is lower than VA's.
The VA inspector general's office said it had opened 25 cases in the first half of the budget year that began Oct. 1. That is up from 21 in the same period in 2016.
The IG's office said the number of newly opened criminal probes had previously been declining since 2014.
Michael Glavin, an IT specialist at the VA, says he's heard numerous employee complaints of faulty VA technical systems that track drug inventories, leading to errors and months of delays in identifying when drugs go missing. Prescription drug shipments aren't always fully inventoried when they arrive at a VA facility, he said, making it difficult to determine if a drug was missing upon arrival or stolen later.
"It's still the same process," said Glavin, who heads the local union at the VA medical center in Columbia, Missouri. The union's attorney, Natalie Khawam, says whistleblowers at other VA hospitals have made similar complaints.
Criminal investigators stressed the need for a continuing drug prevention effort. The VA points to inventory checks every 72 hours and "double lock and key access" to drugs. It attributes many drug loss cases to reasons other than employee theft, such as drugs lost in transit. But the DEA says some of those cases may be wrongly classified.
"Inventories are always an issue as to who's watching or checking it," said Tom Prevoznik, a DEA deputy chief of pharmaceutical investigations. "What are the employees doing, and who's watching them?"


On episode 53 of Longest War: The Post-9/11 Veterans Podcast, we talk with three generations of the Abernathy family of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, about serving in the army during WWII through the War in Iraq, geo-political causes of war, leadership through love, and war's impact on humanity.
Four generations of the Abernathy family have served in every major armed conflict and the Cold War since World War I. Thomas Cross served as an army infantryman during WWII, being among the first Americans to enter Germany. Thomas' daughter Denise joined the army in the 1970s and served during the height of the second great period of the Cold War. Thomas' grandson, Father Paul Abernathy served with the army during the initial invasion of Iraq in 2003.
The Abernathy family's personal experience with war leaves them uniquely qualified to judge its usefulness and ultimate affect on America, nations around the world, and humanity itself. And they conclude: There is no justification for war.
This episode was recorded June 9, 2018 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Host: Nick Grimes. Guests: Thomas Cross, Denise Abernathy, Fr. Paul Abernathy. Audiography: Kevin Farkas/The Social Voice Project.

Player of The Week Spotlight: Johnny Boychuk
Rob Taub 7 months ago Johnny BoychukNew York Islanders
Every week of the 2018-19 season, our Rob Taub will discuss one player from the Islanders to look out for. Whether it's past performances, certain matchups, or something about that player that makes worth spotlighting, each article will describe why they are being featured. Also — if one or two players, or the team is coming off a good week — there will be multiple spotlights.
This past weekend, the New York Islanders returned home to the Nassau Coliseum for the first time in three years.
For over 40-plus years, that building represented what embodied the fans and Long Island as a whole — gritty, no frills, hard-working. One player who has embodied all those traits — and was a wrecking ball all night in their 3-2 come from behind win — is Johnny Boychuk.
Boychuk, 34, has played with the Isles since their last season at the Coliseum in 2014-15 when he was acquired from the Bruins by then-GM Garth Snow the week before the regular season started. Through his four-plus seasons with the team, Boychuk has been a stable on the blueline, playing top-four minutes and wearing an A on his sweater last year. What also has become normal for fans and critics alike through Boychuk's tenure, is his rough n' tumble style and willingness to play through pain.
One thing to realize when you watch Boychuk on a nightly basis: It seems like he's always playing hurt.
The number of games he's played in has decreased each year he's worn an Islander sweater, most of them being due in part that he was legitimately hurt. But anytime you see #55 block a shot or throw his body around, you see him wince in pain. It's hard to imagine that there's not something ailing him. Isles fans have become numb to a point that anytime they see Boychuk, or anyone for that matter go down in pain, they should assume the worst.
Through the quarter point of the season, next to Scott Mayfield, Boychuk has been the Isles best defensemen.
He only has three assists to show for, but Boychuk's overall game and his physical presence have him playing his best hockey since his first season on Long Island. Seeing Boychuk return to being one of the teams' more effective, dependable d-man is huge positive after a rough campaign last season — he played the second least amount of games in a season in his career and had his produced his lowest offensively since he became an Islander.
What has also attributed to Boychuk's rebound is the defensive structure head coach Barry Trotz has put in place.
Nearly all season long last year, Boychuk and his fellow d-men would be overwhelmed in the defensive zone. We're not talking puck on a string here, we're talking giving up 40 or more shots a game on a regular occurrence. So much so, they gave up a league-worst 296 goals. Observing the defense since the season began, there is less running around and more positioning and awareness. He still can look very slow at times, but Boychuk has looked very comfortable with the system put in place by his new bench boss.
https://twitter.com/rtaub_/status/1068332764183830528?s=21
Boychuk still has yet to score a goal this season, but it hasn't been for the faint of heart.
He actually ranks second on the team in shots with 62, 11 behind captain Anders Lee. Boychuk has been notorious for throwing the puck at the net from anywhere, but seems to be even more motivated to contribute offensively this year. It comes as no surprise — still having a rocket of a shot — that whenever he sees that bouncing puck come off the boards just before it goes over the blueline, that he's looking to wire it pass the opposing goalie.
Trotz himself knows how much value Boychuk brings to the team, even if he's only been associated with him for just a few months.
"Tough man, Johnny Boychuk," Trotz told Newsday after the Isles won 7-2 in October that saw Boychuk take a hard shot off his foot. "Johnny is a little bit old-school." That old-school mentality has come up again in the past few weeks, where Boychuk has been at his best.
But even that hard-knocks attitude Boychuk preserves can take a backseat once in awhile like in Boston last Thursday. The rugged d-man saw former teammate —David Krejci's — loose teeth on the ice after his collision with Thomas Hickey and decided to pick them up and return them to the Bruins bench. Talk about a nice guy.
https://twitter.com/peteblackburn/status/1068342741808136192?s=21
It's still up in the air how much longer Boychuk has left in the tank. He does have two years left of his contract at $6.5 million per before his cap hit goes down to 2.5M, but there are a couple of prospects in the organization that could make the jump soon from the AHL to NHL. And with his throwback style, the physical toll on Boychuk could soon become too much to handle. That could be another thing to look out for down the line this season.
But for right now, the Isles brass and coaches should be thrilled with Boychuk's play. If he can continue to compete at a high level, the Islanders will keep turning heads and become a legitimate threat in the Eastern Conference.
With a lot of high-powered offenses — Winnipeg, Pittsburgh, Detroit — all on the docket this week, Boychuk will play a key role defensively for the Isles to keep banking points.
Many expected him to take another step back this year, but Boychuk's been the farthest from that. And for the Islanders, that's more than they could have asked for.

Q: Aspect around methods annotated with @RabbitHandler What I want is to have an aspect around all methods annotated with @RabbitHandler so that AssertionErrors won't kill the handler thread.
I just want to wrap them inside RuntimeExceptions and rethrow.
Motivation: there is additional error handling that I want to use which works well except for these AssertionErrors.
I could add a try-catch for AssertionErrors in each method but there are too many places and instead I was thinking of using aspects.
@Aspect
public class RabbitAssertionErrorHandlerAspect {

  @Around("@annotation(org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.annotation.RabbitHandler)")
  public Object intercept(ProceedingJoinPoint pjp) throws Throwable {
    try {
      return pjp.proceed();
    } catch (AssertionError e) {
      throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
  }
}

All nice and elegant but it doesn't get called. I assume this has something to do with the way these methods are discovered in the first place.
Any reasonable workarounds anyone sees?

A: The @RabbitListener on the class with those @RabbitHandlers can be configured with:
/**
 * Set an {@link org.springframework.amqp.rabbit.listener.RabbitListenerErrorHandler}
 * to invoke if the listener method throws an exception.
 * @return the error handler.
 * @since 2.0
 */
String errorHandler() default "";

So, consider to go the custom RabbitListenerErrorHandler way instead.

A: It works with Spring AOP...
@SpringBootApplication
public class So48324210Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(So48324210Application.class, args);
    }

    @Bean
    public MethodInterceptor interceptor() {
        return i -> {
            try {
                System.out.println("here");
                return i.proceed();
            }
            catch (AssertionError e) {
                throw new RuntimeException(e);
            }
        };
    }

    @Bean
    public static BeanNameAutoProxyCreator proxyCreator() {
        BeanNameAutoProxyCreator pc = new BeanNameAutoProxyCreator();
        pc.setBeanNames("foo");
        pc.setInterceptorNames("interceptor");
        return pc;
    }

    @Bean
    public Foo foo() {
        return new Foo();
    }

    public static class Foo {

        @RabbitListener(queues = "one")
        public void listen(Object in) {
            System.out.println(in);
        }

    }

}

or, as Artem said, a custom error handler will work too.

Documentarian Matthew Heineman's first narrative feature, "A Private War," tells the story of slain newswoman Marie Colvin. It's urgent and intense filmmaking – and you'll leave the movie shell-shocked, a feeling you won't be able to shake for days. Heineman ("Cartel Land," "City of Ghosts") shoots the movie in documentary style, bringing viewers smack into the war-torn areas she so meticulously brought home to readers. Serving as our guide is Rosamund Pike ("Gone Girl"), delivering the performance of her career as Colvin, a journalist dedicated to speaking truth to power and to chronicling the all-too-high human cost of war. She was a warrior who saw more frontline action than most soldiers in her years reporting for the Sunday Times of London. She was also deeply affected by all those bombs and bodies, so much so that post-traumatic stress sends her to rehab. Yet, despite observing all those sick, starving people -- even losing an eye in Sri Lanka – nothing could deter her. She felt it her duty to tell those peoples' stories, most of them about women and children who couldn't speak for themselves. "People are dying and no one knows it is happening," she says in refusing to "hang up her flak jacket." Colvin would return, time and again, to the hot spots of Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia and Syria where she was killed Feb. 22, 2012, by a Syrian army mortar in Homs. She was just 56.
The film also benefits from a solid supporting cast. Jamie Dornan plays freelance photographer, Paul Conroy, who was injured in the Homs bombing. Tom Hollander is Colvin's well-intentioned editor, Sean Ryan. Faye Marsay is Kate Richardson, a cub reporter on the foreign desk who Colvin mentors. Nikki Amuka-Bird is Colvin's best friend, suggesting she seek treatment for her PTSD. If there is a quibble with the film, it's that none of these characters are on screen long enough to fully register, except Dornan who, free of the restraints of playing Christian Grey in "Fifty Shades of Grey," turns in solid work as Colvin's confidante. It speaks to their unforced chemistry and acting chops that the two most riveting scenes in "A Private War" don't take place on the battlefield. These quieter moments exposing her vulnerability – and his admiration - happen in rehab and a hotel bathroom.
Heineman, working from a script by Arash Amel, adapting Marie Brenner's Vanity Fair article, consistently keeps you on edge. Whether his camera is following Colvin and Conroy, as they find a mass grave of hundreds of Saddam Hussein's victims, or talking their way through a military checkpoint, or Colvin's attempts to dictate a story from a hospital bed, the mood is frenzied and harrowing. This isn't one of those "if it bleeds, it leads" journalism movies.
Even though we know how Colvin's story ends, you still can't help but scream inside your head: "no, don't go!" That's how absorbing "A Private War" becomes. That's a credit to Heineman and Pike, who's never been more tenacious, showing that journalists are certainly not the enemy of the people.

2017 Germans in St. Louis Group. All Rights Reserved. Please report any WEBSITE PROBLEMS to the GiSTL WEBMASTER.
The Germans in St. Louis Research Group's mission statement is to preserve German family history, genealogical records and culture in St Louis and Missouri by providing educational and research opportunities, community services, collecting, preserving, and publishing genealogical and historical records.
The GERMANS IN ST. LOUIS RESEARCH GROUP has evolved from a long line of organized genealogical research activity in the St. Louis area. German immigration to America started in earnest in the early 1830s and continued through about the 1860s and 1870s. A very large portion of the American population can trace their ancestry back to Germany. St. Louis, Missouri is of part of the large triangle of German immigrants that includes Milwaukee and Cincinnati.
Among the many of the group's interests is the study our German culture at the time of immigration and before, what let them to immigrate, what the immigration was like, and locating the home towns of the German immigrants. This also includes additional research that includes church and civil records in Germany.
German research may include research of neighboring countries such as France, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Switzerland, and others because borders were shifting over time. Germany itself did not become a unified country until 1871.
The group has a special reciprocal relationship with members of the genealogical society in Osnabrück Germany. Our group is interested in the immigration of people from the Osnabrück area while the society in Germany is interested to know about their people that emigrated to America and more especially to the St. Louis area. This has resulted with many visits of people from Osnabrück to the St. Louis area and the same of people from the St. Louis area to Osnabrück. There are also many sister city relationships with surrounding towns in the St. Louis area with Germany. (Borgholzhausen, Paderborn, Marbach am Neckar, Stuttgart) Our goal is to foster more contact with German genealogical societies.
The group usually meets on a monthly basis at the St. Louis County Headquarters Library Auditorium located at 1640 South Lindbergh Boulevard, St. Louis, Missouri.


It's rare for me to have a case of the moan-days, since I love being able to spend the day with Liv. We'll do the usual thing (play, read books, go on a fun adventure. meet up with friends or just take it easy) and yesterday, I only had one thing in mind that I really wanted to do: get some fall decorations up.
It's really weird to be putting up decorations two years in a row.. in the same place. I kinda like it.
The only thing I still want to do is put tiny pumpkins in our fruit dish on the breakfast table. Other than that: done!
I like to keep holiday decor fairly simple, but as far as Christmas goes, the Pilot said, "It's on." I think he's still scheming from when we found out we live in Christmas neighborhood next to the Cranks. We were the Scrooge house with a single strand of lights, even though I loved them.
It seems like a surprising combo, but the sweet cranberries perfectly complemented the creamy avocado. It was especially amazing with goat cheese and orange balsamic dressing (isn't everything better with goat cheese?).
then made the dressing with a mix of balsamic vinegar, fresh orange juice, oregano, garlic, salt and a pinch of Stevia.
Festive, delicious and different- it would be great for a dinner party.
Something to do: The Spooktacular Sweatfest workout! Get it.
Beautiful decorations, and a beautiful lunch! I love that salad–it helps remind me that fall tastes don't always have to be in the form of pumpkin cinnamon rolls or apple pie. We really should enjoy the bounteous harvest and get our fruits and veggies in their natural form. (Not that cinnamon rolls or pie are bad once in a while).
I'm a military wife, too–I so know what you mean about putting up the same decorations in the same place two years in a row. Definitely looks fabulous!
I'm loving your fall decor! I actually really like the wall color in your kitchen- it gives it some character 😉 Planning on trying out your spooctacular workout today!
I love fall decorations, but we're a military family, too, and somewhere along the way I got rid of all my holiday decor EXCEPT for the Christmas stuff. Boo. That salad looks amazing; now I know what's for lunch!
Love the decor and that salad looks yummy! I need to try that dressing combo!
I've been dying to try avodaco! I had an allergic reaction a couple of times so I've been staying away lol but your salad looks great!
Loving that salad and dressing …. never thought to add orange to a dressing. I'm going to try that for tomorrow 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
I'm pretty sure I've got all the salad ingredients, so it's on! Today's the hubby's b-day–perfect timing for a fun, new recipe.
I love the Halloween votive candle holder with the web in the back – really cool! I tend not to do much for Halloween but just put up losts of fall stuff that can carry over into Thanksgiving. I go way out for Christmas and since we just closed on our new house I'll have my first actual house to decorate. I think we need a huge tree, tons of lights (I'm going to get carried away, for sure!).
Love that combo! I use cranberry avocado with pecans. Must try with almonds now:) Love the decore, especially the the little candle holders. Cute!
Balsamic vinegar, fresh orange juice, & cranberries can do no wrong! Looks like a great salad!
Love the fall decor! It's always fun to celebrate the seasons and holidays! That salad sounds amazing too!
That salad looks amazing! I must try the cranberry+avocado mix.
I think anything with avocado and goat cheese is delicious!
Love your decorations! I wish I could do more Fall decor, since the colors at this time of the year are so beautiful, but I live in an apartment so storage space is pretty limited and mostly taken up by all of my Christmas decorations… Space or not, Christmas is one time that I definitely don't skimp on.
I never usually decorate too much for anything but Christmas, but I want every holiday/season to be fun to my little one so next year IT'S ON for me too.
I have raisins instead of cranberries, but otherwise everything I need so I'm duplicating this lunch today!
Hi Gina, I'm a long time reader and just wanted to know how you deal with unpacking your whole life in one house, decorating it beautifully, and then having to pack everything up and move in 1-2 years and start over again? I don't know if you've ever addressed this, or maybe I'm clueless, but I give you some major props because that takes a WHOLE lot mentally.
at first i had the mentality of "what's the point, we're just moving again." but, i realized that we can end up in places much longer than anticipated, so might as well make the most of it! we were only supposed to be in valdosta for a year and a half, but were there for 4.
goat cheese is something amazing, seriously…..love it!! My favorite snack is the multi grain cracker thins at Trader Joes with the herbed goat cheese!
Mm! Orange balsamic sounds great.
I never go toooo crazy at Halloween/fall for decorating, but when it comes to Christmas, that's a different story. My husband hates it!
Loving the fall decorations in your house! And I love the flavor combos in this salad, looks delicious!
Love the decorations! It must be fun putting the same decorations in different places, but then again its probably fun to put them in the same place too! Yummy salad..I <3 avocado!
I love seasonal and holiday decorations; yours look great! Very festive 🙂 Your salad is SO pretty, and sounds delicious, too. It would look beautiful on the table for a big dinner party/ family dinner. Congratulations on being included in Fitness' article! Yum, that pizza looks so good – I might have to make it for myself tonight!
I love all the fall decorations. I have often thought about changing the decoration of the house depending on the season, but it is just another thing I have never got round to.
That salad looks amazing! And your decorations are so cute!
I loooove your cute fall decor! So cute! Your house always looks so nice and clean 🙂 That salad looks amazing.. I love cranberries in salad's. Probably because I have a raging sweet tooth, but at least I end up eating more salad!
My brother is a winemaker and has access to some seriously amazing oils and vinegars. Last Christmas I was gifted some blood orange olive oil and CHOCOLATE balsamic vinegar. I die, in the best way.
Holiday decorations are the best! Yippee!
Awesome salad! Dried fruit and goat cheese in salads is such a great combination.
We moved in to our home this past April so I LOVE being able to collect items and know that I have a place to store them and be able to put them out year after year! I'm SO picky though!
I was just thinking how this weekend would be perfect to get back in my garage (since the temps are dropping nearly 20 degrees finally) to organize boxes that have been there since I moved in in March. This reminds me to pull out my fall decorations box while I'm out there.

Releasing Atomic Heart on Anniversary of Russian Invasion of Ukraine is Wrong
Is the release of a Russian-made game almost exactly on the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine a good idea? Hardly. Even considering that the date was probably chosen by the Western publisher, it comes across as a bad joke. But there is still a way to get this situation straight.
Atomic Heart has been captivating players for several years. No wonder: in the flood of Western titles, this Russian BioShock, as it was promptly dubbed, alures with Soviet-inspired retrofuturism, spectacular graphics, an interesting theme of the revolt of machines, as well as a very peculiar Eastern European flair.
People of flesh and blood work on the game – who knows, maybe it's even their lifetime achievement? Certainly, they have, over the years, gave their blood, sweat and tears and made various sacrifices along the way. Everything seemed to be going perfectly. The creators had already seen the finish line on the horizon (the title was supposed to be almost finished in mid-2021), and even the giants of the industry have noticed the potential in Atomic Heart (the game will be included in the Game Pass subscription on the day of its release). In February 2022, Mundfish studio announced that their game would launch later that year. And then, in the early hours of February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale, genocidal, morbid invasion of Ukraine. Thousands of tanks, tens of thousands of troops, residential areas bombed every day, cities turned to rubble – this has been the reality of the people of Ukraine for almost a year. This is the biggest armed conflict in Europe since the fall of the Third Reich, and that says something about Russian dictator, Putin.
Was February 24 a black day in Mundfish's history? We don't know. We do not know the views of the game's developers; nor do we know what's their stance on their country's aggression against its neighbor. Maybe they approve of it, like many other Russians? Or maybe they're pissed off by this war because it interfered with the release of a promising game? Maybe they see it for what it truly is – a mad act of pure evil? We do not know this, because Mundfish studio responded to the controversy related to the upcoming premiere with a set of vague clichés, not sparing a word about the war. Admittedly, it defines itself in the online space as an "international team," which even includes Ukrainians (three of them work at the company). It's just a pity that you won't find a similar note in the "About" section of the company's Russian-language website.
However, we know something else. We know, for instance, who invested in the production of this game, and what budget is supplied by the taxes that Mundfish pays. And it's the exact same budget, of which 33% in 2023 are allocated to "internal security and national defence," which in plain language means waging war on foreign land. It is, of course, the budget of the Russian Federation.
Stinky connections
Unfortunately, in the case of Atomic Heart, doubts are surrounding not only the country of origin of the dev studio, but also the connections of this Russian company. Let's start with Mundfish investors. In 2021, it was announced that the studio had raised funds to produce the game from several sources. Among them, you will find two large companies with Russian roots.
Gaijin, creators of the well-known free-to-play War Thunder, is one of them. This company, unlike its biggest competitor, Wargaming, did not withdraw (even if only formally) from Russia – not even releasing a statement distancing it from the war. The only thing we heard was that the developers do not want "political discussions" to be part of their game. As a result, you can meet players in the game who decorate their vehicles with the infamous letters "Z" or "V;" symbols of the Russian war waged on the soldiers and civilians of Ukraine. Before the war, Gaijin also collaborated with an anti-Ukrainian YT channel linked to the Donetsk People's Republic, i.e. areas of Ukraine occupied since 2014 by the Russians, and formally incorporated in the Federation in the fall). These are not major accusations, but let's face it: the silence of the Russian studio is problematic.
The other Russian investor is GEM Capital. This company was founded by Anatoli Paliy, a longtime director of Gazprom's daughter company (Gazenergoseti). In addition to investing in gaming, GEM Capital is also involved in the Russian gas industry (e.g. purchase of Volga Gas).
Finally, to conclude the subject of connections, we should mention that in Russia, as well as in a number of neighboring countries, Atomic Heart will be released on PCs only as part of the VK Play platform. This is the gaming face of VK Group, a tech giant best known for creating the Russian equivalent of Facebook. Since December 2021, the majority of shares in this company have been held by Gazprom and its subsidiaries. The head of VK Group himself, Vladimir Kiriyenko, is a former vice-president of Rostelecom (a Russian telecomms company) created on behalf of the Kremlin, and the son of Sergei Kiriyenko, who is closely associated with Putin and who, according to media reports from June last year, is the unofficial "manager" of the territories annexed in Ukraine. On February 26, just two days after the invasion, both of them were subjected to US sanctions.
This, by the way, is not the end of his ties to the VK Group. Atomic Heart's current CEO and Game Director, Robert Bagratuni (formerly known as Maxim Zastepin), previously represented VK Play in the role of creative director. At the time, the aforementioned company operated under the name Mail.ru Group (the rebranding took place in October 2021).
Does this mean that Gazprom, or people associated with Putin, are directly behind Atomic Heart? Probably not, but they are standing right next to it. In the tangled, organized-crime world of Russian big business, it's almost certain that some profits from production will go to companies or individuals associated with Putin's corrupt state oligarchy.
Paradise in Cyprus
You can read on Mundfish' website that the company's headquarters is located in Cyprus. This is not a unique practice for businesses legit and otherwise. The aforementioned investor, i.e. the Gaijin studio, has for some time described itself as a Hungarian company based in Budapest. Russia's Battlestate Games (Escape from Tarkov) is based in London. And the Russian Nival (Blitzkrieg 3) is reportedly operating from Cyprus. This small island is now often listed as headquarters of Russian video game companies (and other IT entities as well).
Why? There are many reasons – before the war, it was done to pay lower taxes or dodge them altogether. Currently, it is also one of the methods to circumvent economic sanctions or improve PR. Russia has a bad rep today – so it's better to distance yourself from it, at least on paper. Do Russian studios actually move their offices and employees to these places? It's hard to judge, and certainly nobody's bragging about it. Usually, the info comes down to a footer with the address, or a single sentence on the company website's "about" section. In fact, this could be one of the ways to elude being drafted into the army, or an excuse to escape the toxic country – we know that hundreds of thousands of Russians left their homes to avoid the partial mobilization announced on September 21, 2022 (in fact, the number of men evacuating was larger than that of the initial invading force). These are mere surmises, however. We do not know in whose hands the profits from the sales of these games end up nor where the taxes are paid.
Context matters
In the case of Atomic Heart, it's not just about whether the people behind the game are supportive of Russia's conduct or not. The context itself is also important. Imagine staging an apolitical play by Goethe, a German playwright from the 19th century, in 1944, for example. From the perspective of pure logic, we can say that yes – after all, they playwright died before Germany was even unified, some 40 years before the creation of the second Reich, not to mention the Third one, the one that caused World War 2. However, cold logic is not always a good advisor – we intuitively understand that such a staging could be highly inappropriate to many people, who's sons, husbands and brothers have left USA to fight in Europe. Imagine also, that the people responsible for staging the play are associated with the elites of the Third Reich and it's starts to look really ugly.
I look at Atomic Heart in a similar way – there's something unsettlingly wrong with a grand release of a work of Russian culture on the anniversary of the recognition of the independence of the separatist Donbass and Luhansk "republics," which was a prelude to the invasion three days later. It would look a lot better if the creators would at least distance themselves from the war unequivocally – which can be done, as proved by, for example, the authors of Pathologic, who criticized the war in a public statement shortly after the invasion began (and, significantly, they did not try to pretend that they're a company from Cyprus). Of course, we do not wish to personally blame the people behind Atomic Heart for the crimes and atrocities committed by the Russian army – Russia is an authoritarian state, and any political opposition has been steadily jailed or killed for years (sometimes even on Putin's birthday) – which also doesn't alleviate the responsibility resting on Russian society. This, however, changes nothing in the context. Russian troops are murdering civilians, Russian bombs are tearing apart Ukrainian houses and critical infrastructure, and here's a Russian game trying to conquer Western markets almost on exact anniversary of the war.
In a perfect world, the release of this game would be postponed to a better time – optimally after the defeat of the Russian invasion troops, and at least by a few weeks. I do not rule out that under the influence of growing criticism, Focus will give and, for peace of their mind (and good PR), it will postpone the release of Atomic Heart after all. And that would be a good, empathetic and sane decision.
Painful anniversary
The current release date, only a few days away from the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, is an extremely poor decision to say the least. It's hard to decide if the person who made it had bad intentions – such a decision is more in the discretion of the publisher, not the developers. Either way, Focus exhibited a considerable lack of imagination.
It's understandable that the Russian invasion and all the consequences that come with it are upsetting. Everything about it is depressing, from the inflation, to just too many horrific news. It sucks that disputes about it have entered gaming. Unfortunately, the biggest war in Europe since World War II (next to the wars in the Balkans in the 1990s) continues abroad – and there is no indication that the Russians will decide to withdraw anytime soon. In any case, I, for one, will boycott Atomic Heart, although under normal conditions I would be thrilled to try it. It's a small sacrifice – there are plenty of new games coming, and there's plenty of time to try them ahead.
Is not boycotting Atomic Heart a bad decision? I do not know. I have long been opposed to shifting the blame for various phenomena onto consumers. What I know for certain is that the release day choice was really, really dumb.
We asked all the companies involved (Focus Entertainment, Mundfish and Microsoft) about the problematic release date. So far we have not received an answer.

He wrote here and there. He appeared in the company in 2014 as a specialist in mobile and free-to-play games – which was a result of an unhealthy fascination with World of Tanks (to date he has accumulated nearly 2,000 hours in the game...). He then became a columnist, and in 2018, the deputy editor-in-chief of our Polish sister site.
