## HISTORY

### Early Years (1942)

Sasha was found at a young age, just 5 years old, in a German laboratory-bunker near what is now Katowice on March 11, 1945. After the Soviet forces arrived in the city, a squad invaded a bunker where a large group of scientists were conducting experiments on children. With the invasion, some scientists killed themselves, others resisted, and the rest fled. A Soviet soldier named "Sasha Yuryevna Petrova" finds the little crying child. Seeing this, she follows the child who runs away. In an attempt to remove the child from the bunker, the soldier tries to calm her down, but Sasha is shot by one of the scientists. The Soviet soldier quickly returns fire, shooting the scientist in the face, who falls dead. After calming the child, Sasha tries to take her out, and as they exit, the squad is surprised by an artillery explosion that kills Sasha. The child is saved and taken to an outpost, where she is given the name Sasha. She seemed to have high levels of importance to the Germans, as ambushes and rescue operations were carried out, but all failed during the journey to Moscow.

### Pre-Parada Years (1942-1964)

After several years of research and analysis, it is discovered that Sasha has great combat and leadership abilities, superior even to decorated generals. She also exhibits disproportionate strength, resistance to heat, cold, radiation, low-caliber shots, and minor cuts. Recognizing her abilities, the researchers decide to let her live a normal life, and she is adopted by a regular family.
