Yuri Semashkoshov

Yuri Vasilyevich Semashkoshov (born 1960) was a Spetsnaz operative who served during the Third World War, taking part in various key operations that dealt major blows to the United States and NATO, including the destruction of several major technological compounds. He was also the first person to breach the mythical Area 51 base.
==Biography==
===Before the War===
Yuri Vasilyevich Semashkoshov was born in 1960 in Novosibirsk, as the son of a proper working Russian farming family. He joined the Soviet army as soon as he was capable of doing so legally. Served 3 years in Afghanistan, reluctantly returning to the homeland when the war ended.
===Third World War===
As of 1990, he was a top-tier Spetsnaz operative, and an apple in GRU's eye - there was no mission he was unable to handle; and Premier Aleksander had some plans for him in the upcoming invasion of the free world. During the Third World War, his communications officer was Ivan.
He was one of the operatives tasked with disabling American communication bases day before the war; later, he was one of the Spetsnaz operatives tasked with destroying or disabling America's ICBM silos; his job was to destroy a ICBM silo in Wisconsin, which he did by forcing the missile to explode inside of the base itself, causing it to destroy the whole facility. This caused him to be noticed by the eyes of the scheming Chinese, who decided to eliminate him, just in case the Soviet Union might attempt to use Yuri against them.
The Chinese suggested that the Soviets should go back to Afghanistan and re-take it. The premier admitted that this sounds like a plan worth putting into action, and dispatched Yuri alongside the 127th Machine-Gun Artillery Division to Afghanistan. The country was too well guarded however - Mujahideen were everywhere, aided by local NATO forces. In a local NATO base, Yuri found secret documents containing information about a plan to bomb important areas of the Soviet Union using stealth bombers, and thus, Yuri was dispatched to deal with that threat. Afterwards, he was deployed to Poland, where he raised the Red flag at the Gdańsk museum, marking the last free city of Poland as a Soviet territory.
===Stalemate of 1991===
Yuri was deployed again in 1991, in Zabrze, Poland, where he was to retake the city. The NATO forces in Zabrze deployed a new weapon, the Paladin LAWS, which Yuri was then tasked with halting the production of; a task he preformed successfully, destroying the base they were developed in by planting a Bomb on the nuclear reactor powering it. At this point, European NATO members got the idea to assassinate Yuri, using Romania's surrender and entry into NATO as lure - NATO "accidentally" released information that the new head of state will be a man known as "Count Gulagula". The Soviet Union ordered Yuri to kill him. Gulagula, and actual Romanian politicians of the new government escaped the castle they were in in time, leaving Yuri at the mercy of Gregor Autsmanndorf and Bonebreaker who were tasked with assassinating Yuri, and failed.
It was this situation that made the Soviet government realize that the Chinese were rusing them in a similar manner, steering the war in their favor. Thus, Yuri was send to the top secret Chinese PLA base in Tibet, where he killed the remaining PLA army leadership, crippling China forever and forcing it to bail out of the war. His last job of the Third World War was to infiltrate Area 51 - a task he miraculously succeeded in, even managing to destroy a large chunk of the complex with bombs. He was then delegated to guard the Dome Of Light complex in Kamchatka - it is unknown what happened to him afterwards.
