Public Service
In the year 1976, a young man joined a government office in Moscow, eager to protect and serve the Motherland and her people from the sneaking tendrils of the great Capitalist enemy, America. His name was Dimitri Shostakov, and he was 20 years old at the time. Regrettably, large portions of his background and psych profile are no longer available, due to the subsequent liquidation of Soviet-era assets made in the spirit of glasnost, which has proven to be more trouble than it was worth...but that story is for another time.

Dimitri's work within the bureau was mostly banal filing of past civil disturbances, but his dedication never wavered, and he impressed the right people to such a degree that he was forwarded to a position amongst the Politburo. The work became more dangerous; Western spies were constantly spreading propaganda amongst the people, and not a week would go by without a violent protest by some deluded countrymen whose faith in the system had waned. Dimitri rose to the occasion, putting a firm stop to any and all problems that started within his assigned area. His superiors never questioned his use of force, as one would expect a gutless American to do; they only cared for the results, which Dimitri delivered in spades. Quietly, it was suggested that Dimitri could out-box the Devil himself - purely as a joke, one somewhat lost in translation.

It was around this time that Dimitri met and fell in love with an aspiring cellist named Anna Kunich. Though she was initially put off by his blunt mannerisms and violent work, Dimitri was more than willing to change his ways for her, and in time, she thawed. The pair began to live together in 1980, in a cramped flat on the capital's outskirts. Dimitri was certain that he had found his niche in life, and could ask for nothing more. Sadly, fate rarely allows any such status quo to be maintained for long.
