Name: Aleksei Vassiliev
Nationality: Russian
What army will your character serve beneath?
Soviet Army
Character History: Aleksei was born the 23rd of February 1918, the same day Trotsky created the Red Army, in the city of Veliki Novgorod in a poor workers family. He lived in a small house with his mother Anatolya , grandfather Pyotr and his 2 brothers Alexandre and Yuri and his sister Anyushka.
His father had served with the russian army during the Great War and was captured by german troops. It was until the late summer of 1920 that his father Vassili was able to return from a POW camp in Germany.
He went to school till the age of 14. He was a good student and he excelled in history and math. He left school when his family as like many others was struck by hunger and poverty. He decided to work for several years in a steel mill with his father, while his mother and sister tried to work on the small piece of land they owned.
One of his passions was go hunting and fish with his grandfather and his older brothers. They learned how to set traps, how to lure animals and how to recognise animals by there footprints and droppings in the snow.
On one of the hunting trips Aleksei alone had caught or shot 11 white hares for which his grandfather gave him the name lisitsa or fox for his cunning and swiftness.
Ofcourse he had heared about the Nazi Party rising in the West, they all did. Father Vassili, who was still plagued by his memories of the Great War, sensed that a new war was beginning to brew and he begged his sons not to join the military. Aleksei's two brothers joined the Red army in 1935. Aleksei was 17 at the time. He stayed at home and kept working in the steel mill.
When Comrade Stalin and Hitler signed the non-aggression pact in 1939, Yuri and Alexandre were part of the many russians to march into Poland when the two nations armies attacked and overrun the Polish army with large quantities of russian provided war materials.
It was at that time he met a girl working in the same factory: Tanya Ivanova.
She was the daughter of the factory owner and worked as a clerk.
On June 22 1941 German forces invaded Russia and Comrade Stalin began a mass mobilisation of young men. Aleksei's father tried to convince the military officials that Aleksei was needed home that he already had two sons in the army. The army officials responded that he should be proud that his 3 sons were about the fight for the cause, that he wasn't the only one who made sacrifices for the motherland. Aleksei enlisted in the infantry.
The day before he left, he promised his sweet Tanyushka he would marry her when the war was over. They all stayed up that night and when the truck came to pick him up he hugged his mother and sister, shook his grandfathers hand who said "Shoot straight and remember what I taught you lisitsa." His father stood in the door opening with a weak smile. "Come back home." Aleksei nodded and returned the smile.
He kissed Tanya until the truck driver coughed loudly and he mounted the truck next to other young men from Novgorod.
He looked back at his family. Even when he couldn't see them anymore from the distance he looked back, eager to keep the promises he made.
Military Rank: Efreitor
Writing Sample:
He saw something in the rubble. Quietly he came closer. It was a human hand sticking out. He removed some stones to take a better look. He recognised a fellow russian soldier. "So here you are comrade. Poor man..." He looked at his dogtags. Sergey Donovko...1457896..." He wrote it down in his notebook.
Suddenly he heared the unmistakable clacking of german jackboots.
I thought this sector was to be secured He thought as he quickly made his way to a building on his right side, away from the clacking and the fallen comrade. He looked quietly through a small window, his Tokarev firmly in his hands.
He counted 7 german soldiers, at least one or two unteroffiziers.
He hoped they hadn't spotted him.
They stopped, looked at the body of the fallen comrade and Aleskei ducked when two soldiers came closer to his hiding spot.
Clack clack clack...
His hart pounded and he held is breath. A smooth scent of cigarettes filled the air and he could hear laughter.
They are smoking! The idiots.
He sighed silently.
The patrol started to walk again and he could hear the sound of the boots fade away. He dared to raise his head just in time to see the last german go around the corner. He stood up and turned around.
"Halt!" He looked right in the barrel of a PPSh machinegun.
A bearded man with a wide grin n his face said: "How you doing comrade?"
"Dmitri...It's bad enough the germans try to kill me now you trying to get my a heartattack?"
The bearded man laughed in respons.
"Couldn't help myself."
"Alright I had that one coming...Let's move out. I have some information for HQ."
