This strip appeared in issue #197 of Linux (Pro) Magazine magazine, after it was confirmed that the Democrats’ email server was almost certainly hacked by Russian state actors. This strip is a reworking of, and direct reference to, our earlier strip which poked fun at the equivalent Western surveillance machine.

[Panels 1 & 2: Elvie is speaking to her friend on the phone]
Elvie: If something as important as the Democrats' email server was hacked, what hope is there for individual privacy?
Friend: Don't you think you're being a bit paranoid? The Russians aren't interested in what you had for dinner, or the contents of your shopping list!
[Panel 3: It's revealed that a pair of spies are eavesdropping on Elvie's conversation]
Spy 1: …a bottle of cola, some bagels, a copy of '1984' and the latest edition of Linux Magazine, comrade.
Spy 2: She Sounds like a liberal to me. Put her on the watch list.
