In a hypothetical post-apocalyptic world, the protagonist of our story – let’s call him Dave – bides his time in an underground bunker waiting for the world above to become safe again. Finally, after months or years, he finds the courage to lift the manhole cover from above his head and crawl out into the sunlight. The first thing he says is, “Does anyone know what happened to the Russians?”
Who are the Russians? Are they Dave’s friends, and is Dave asking in hope that they too survived so he can be reunited with them? Or are the Russians the agressors, the ones who caused the apocalypse and sent him running aground for his safety?

Has anyone heard from Squeak?
How am I to understand this question?
