==Profile==
Boris has very limited English skills, responding to every remark with "Да, да" (Russian for "Yes, yes"). Juan befriends Boris when the Russian comes to his bar for some vodka, then brings his new friend to the school and explains to Jeremy Brown that he wants to defect. Mr. Brown's other students suspect Boris of being a spy or double agent until they learn that he has met and fallen in love with an English woman. However, Mr. Brown soon meets with Ivan, Boris's commanding officer, who informs him that their ship is only at port for one day and Boris already has a wife named Anastasia back in Russia. Upon learning this, Mr. Brown allows the captain to retrieve the wayward sailor from his classroom.
Ivan is the only person to use Boris's surname, and does so once when bringing the sailor back to his ship.
