AFTER RETURNING home from a drunken night out with friends, a 53-year-old Russian man got a nasty surprise when his wife found a knife lodged in
his back.
Yuri Laylin found that he had been stabbed in the back by a friend when they were playing a variation of Russian roulette.
The game involved the players drinking vodka and dancing round a blindfolded man carrying a knife.
Yuri Laylin said he did not feel any pain until he went home.
“We had a few vodkas and I remember playing some silly games and someone had a large knife,” said Yuri. “I came home, went to sleep as usual and woke up when my wife started screaming. Only then did I realise what had happened.”
Doctors said the alcohol he drank must have acted as an anaesthetic and that the knife which went four inches into his back missed his vital organs.
