He's referencing the storming of the Winter Palace and the dissolution of the widely loathed provisional government during the Great October Socialist Revolution. Is Gabe Newell a modern Alexander Kerensky? Will he be defended to the last by a Women's Battalion of Death when the games worker red guards storm Bellevue? The answer, of course, is yes

    I can't help thinking of Alexander Kerensky in the BattleTech/MechWarrior franchise when I hear that name.

    That's one of my treats, all right?

    Well at least his middle name is different.
