Well originally, back in 1959, the Authourities played safe and said ''Overwhelming Force''.

And the 'ravine' could be a ditch or gully, just translated poorly.  There may even be names in Russian for a ditch or gully that could have been used if the translator knew about them.

Yes I mentioned something like that some time ago. I thought Ravine sounded to grand a word for that location. But some one suggested everyone had got used to calling it the Ravine, so we just kept on doing so.
