The edition I read was in our local library, but I can't say I remember exactly the fact of Bulba's authenticity from it. Wikipedia, however, says he was an historical figure. I think he was something analogous to our Davy Crockett. Yes, he was a TV character, but he also did have a life...so to speak.
Speaking of the "positive" aspects of the STS lifestyle, when I was a kid I was lead to believe that Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie and others died nobly (in STO fashion) killing Mexicans at the Alamo. It was much later that I learned that it was all part of a big land grab. In other words, it was a major STS operation, it seems to me.
Maybe what I'm getting at is that STS entities often employ STO principles. And, needless to say, the opposite happens as well. [French Revolution, for example.]
In the end, I guess, it leaves one with a serious responsibility to periodically overhaul one's own perceived intentions and practices. I suppose that confronting such paradoxes and making corresponding choice is a means of deepening one's polarity?
