: Thanks for the tip. Here is how I think about it. In the real universe Alex was killed in July 1918. In the novel, the details are scarce. It's just snippets of memories.

October Revolution
Thin Ice dates the October Revolution to 7 November 1917 in the Gregorian calendar, so if the link is made clear in The Clockwise Man, you could use that audio story as a source for the timing.
