Russian Roulette

Russian Roulette is a high-risk game of chance where a participant loads a single bullet into a revolver, spins the cylinder to randomize the bullet’s position, then points the gun at their head and pulls the trigger. If the bullet is in the chamber aligned with the firing pin, the gun fires, causing serious injury or death; if not, the cylinder rotates freely for the next attempt. It’s an extremely dangerous activity emphasizing chance and risk-taking, often used symbolically to illustrate reckless behavior or gamble with life.
