Let it be known that as of today, 1779 - Russia and Turkey have signed a treaty concerning military action in Crimea. The war has gone by different names. In Russia it was also known as the "Oriental War" (Russian: Восточная война, Vostochnaya Voina), and in Britain at the time it was sometimes known as the "Russian War". But to us, here at The Bulb it has become little short of lieutenant-general Ivan Krasnov's refusal of the ultimatum, responding that "Russians never surrender their cities".
"Viper will eat viper, and it would serve them both right!" so says Dostoyevsky.

Gripping stuff, Toms. Let me know if you need us at Bulb HQ to bail you out, post you some fleecy leggings or replenish your mustache wax.
