Oh, I definitely believe you. Just speaking in my defense.
As someone unfamiliar with the Russian language or culture, it wasn't clear to me. (I have changed the sentence in the review, though. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
)
At the beginning of the game I actually found the references to "Vanya" kind of confusing, because it was never explained that this was a pet name for Ivan. I thought the characters were referring to someone who hadn't been introduced yet.
