Notes
[edit]- "Raskol" is the Russian word for "split" or "schism", specifically the 17th century splitting of the Russian Orthodox Church, and is one of several Russian loanwords that have been used throughout More than Meets the Eye. Writer James Roberts has also described Megatron as akin to Raskolnikov from Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novel Crime and Punishment,[1] so the name "Raskol" might be a reference to that.
