| Name: Ivan Korakov Representative of: USSR Gender: Male Age: 29(Human), 94 years old(Historical Brief personality: Ivan is a stern man, often considered a buzz-kill to other people, and while he’s slow to anger, when he does get angry, things often get broken. He is considered to be a more diplomatic and tactful person than others, and while he does have his moments of breaking this, most of the time he remains stern, diplomatic, and careful. He’s a very fatherly man to those he designates as, or has adopted as, his children. One of which at least considered him their father. When he does break down, it's often violent, or at the very least a threat of being violent, brandishing his hammer, his scythe, or both, he's not above hurting people if they anger him, although he does have restraint, which might of prevented a world war, once upon a time. While usually fairly unfettered in his conscientious nature, he does have a soft-spot for children, and is known to enjoy taking care of them, and he does still have a bit of a soft-spot for most of Eastern Europe, despite the dissolution of the amalgam-nation he represented. Brief physical description: Ivan is a very imposing man, standing at 6’4’’ and wearing a large black and red overcoat. His facial features are soft, although his eyes hold a hard, calculating gaze to them. On his back he has a giant scythe and a matching warhammer, representative of his flag, and his ideology, two items that he’s passed down to his daughter, Anya. His skin is very pale and his eyes are a light lavender color, like most other Slavic-based personas, although Ivan represented a much larger spectrum than just Russia. His hair is a silver color, it's hard to tell if it's based on age or on the Slavic's genes. His coat is a black military-styled winter coat, and it doesn't seem to bother him to wear such a thing even in hotter climates. He also wears a set of black pants and some military-issued boots, and overall everything on his person is clean, well-maintained, and shows no sign of aging from over the years, other then the man himself. Brief history: The USSR's history was turbulent and uncertain for much of its time, with only brief moments of victory or peace. It was a nation built off of the work of the average man and woman, although it's original ideology of all being equal, with no ruling class, did not last long as it was not a stable way to run a country. People such as Stalin made the nation hated among others, and feared by some, however it left a mark that history is not soon going to forget. Included in the Spoilers is a brief synopsis of the USSR's history. - Spoiler:
The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was a Marxist–Leninist state on the Eurasian continent that existed between 1922 and 1991. A union of multiple subnational Soviet republics, its government and economy were highly centralized. The Soviet Union was a one-party state, governed by the Communist Party with Moscow as its capital.
The Soviet Union had its roots in the October Revolution of 1917, when the Bolsheviks, headed by Vladimir Lenin, overthrew the provisional government that had replaced the Tsar. They established the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic (renamed Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic in 1936), beginning a civil war between the revolutionary "Reds" and the counter-revolutionary "Whites." The Red Army entered several territories of the former Russian Empire and helped local Communists take power through soviets, which nominally acted on behalf of workers and peasants. In 1922, the Communists were victorious, forming the Soviet Union with the unification of the Russian, Transcaucasian, Ukrainian, and Byelorussian republics. Following Lenin's death in 1924, a troika and a brief power struggle, Joseph Stalin came to power in the mid-1920s. Stalin suppressed all political opposition to his rule, committed the state ideology to Marxism–Leninism (which he created) and initiated a centrally planned economy. As a result, the country underwent a period of rapid industrialization and collectivization which laid the foundation for its victory in World War II and post-war dominance of Eastern Europe. Stalin also fomented political paranoia, and conducted the Great Purge to remove opponents of his from the Communist Party through the mass arbitrary arrest of many people (military leaders, Communist Party members, and ordinary citizens alike) who were then sent to correctional labor camps or sentenced to death.
At the beginning of World War II, Stalin signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler's Germany; the treaty delayed confrontation between the two countries. In June 1941 the Germans invaded, opening the largest and bloodiest theater of war in history. Soviet war casualties accounted for the highest proportion of the conflict in the cost of acquiring the upper hand over Axis forces at intense battles such as Stalingrad. Soviet forces eventually captured Berlin in 1945. The territory overtaken by the Red Army became satellite states of the Eastern Bloc. The Cold War emerged in 1947 as the Soviet bloc confronted the Western states that united in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in 1949.
Following Stalin's death in 1953, a period of political and economic liberalization, known as "de-Stalinization" and "Khrushchev's Thaw", occurred under the leadership of Nikita Khrushchev. The country developed rapidly, as millions of peasants were moved into industrialized cities. The USSR took an early lead in the Space Race with the first ever satellite and the first human spaceflight. In the 1970s, there was a brief détente of relations with the United States, but tensions resumed when the Soviet Union deployed troops in Afghanistan in 1979. The war drained economic resources and was matched by an escalation of American military aid to Mujahideen fighters.
In the mid-1980s, the last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, sought to further reform and liberalize the economy through his policies of glasnost and perestroika. The goal was to preserve the Communist Party while reversing economic stagnation. The Cold War ended during his tenure, and in 1989 Soviet satellite countries in Eastern Europe overthrew their respective communist regimes. This led to the rise of strong nationalist and separatist movements inside the USSR as well. Central authorities initiated a referendum—boycotted by the Baltic republics, Armenia, Georgia, and Moldova—which resulted in the majority of participating citizens voting in favor of preserving the Union as a renewed federation. In August 1991, a coup d'état was attempted by Communist Party hardliners. It failed, with Russian President Boris Yeltsin playing a high-profile role in facing down the coup, resulting in the banning of the Communist Party. On 25 December 1991, Gorbachev resigned and the remaining twelve constituent republics emerged from the dissolution of the Soviet Union as independent post-Soviet states. The Russian Federation (formerly the Russian SFSR) assumed the Soviet Union's rights and obligations and is recognized as its continued legal personality.
