Which came first, the post or the lawsuit?

Yuck,

>Self-Represented Plaintiff Oleg Churyumov.

This won't end well for the guy.

He's self representing himself for the case? Does anyone know if there is any reasoning behind this? Even lawyers aren't recommended to represent themselves... going up against Amazon's lawyers with- no offense to the author- imperfect English, sounds like it would be more of a firing squad than a lawsuit.

As a fellow Russian, the impression I got from the original post is that the author has no idea how PR, legal system, juries, diplomacy and workplace politics work in the U.S. Kinda sad because those things are orthogonal to your software development skills.

The article is dated February 9, 2019. The court case is filed January 30, 2019.
