Vladimir Fedorov

**Vladimir A. Fedorov** is the former Ispirian Secretary of Intelligence.

### Early life (2015 - 2033)

Vladimir Fedorov was born to Alexander and Diana Fedorov on October 23, 2015. His father was a captain in the Ispirian navy, and it was originally Vladimir's dream to follow in his father's footsteps, and so at a young age he learned to swim, and quickly became very adept at it.

### The Ispirian Navy (2033 - 2042)

At the age of eighteen, Vladimir enlisted in the Ispirian navy and slowly worked his way through the ranks, and came to know the Fleet Admiral, Yuri Gorbochov. He remained in the navy for the next nine years, only making his way up to the rank of petty officer second class.

On July 19, 2042, Alexander Fedorov died unexpectedly during an explosion on his ship. Horrified at this event, Vladimir asked Gorbochov what had happened, and he replied by saying that one of their cruisers that Alexander had unfortunately been on at the time exploded, due to what they thought was a problem in the engine room. Vladimir attended the funeral of Alexander, and afterwards informed Gorbochov that he was resigning from the navy to continue life in Kyiv.

### Life in Kyiv (2042 - 2050)

Vladimir found work in the city of Kyiv, Ispirium. On March 3, 2045 he married Alina Volkov. Vladimir worked for the Department of Defense in Kyiv from 2042 to 2049, when he retired again to live with his wife. However, on August 25, 2050, Gorbochov met Vladimir again in Kyiv, informing him that he was nominated to become the new Secretary of Intelligence. Somewhat shocked at this, Vladimir accepted the job, and immediately went to the Department of Surveillance headquarters, and was introduced.

### Career as the SoI (2050 - Present)

#### War with Obrelazky

Vladimir would begin his career as the Secretary of Intelligence by hosting tryouts and training sessions for new and existing members of the Department of Intelligence, primarily in Kyiv. He familiarized himself with his duties as the Secretary of Intelligence, and the headquarters of the DoI. During his first year in office, there was not much action in Ispirium, however there was a war between them and Obrelazky. It was during these times that Vladimir sent agents to try and obtain enemy intel and send it to the Department of Intelligence by whatever means necessary, as it was hard to leave Obrelazky and send messages from or into it.

On September 20, 2051, a bomb went off in Kyiv, killing and injuring over fifty people. Vladimir immediately responded and sent the Department of Intelligence to investigate the crime scene while he and other political leaders were moved to safe places. About eight minutes later, a second bomb went off nearby, with less casualties, but this made Vladimir wonder who had been behind these bombings. Roughly an hour later, Vladimir's agents reported that the suspects were identified as supposed immigrants from Obrelazky. Once Vladimir received this news, he told agents in Obrelazky to gather and send as much info as they could that related to the recent attacks, and reports showed that the government of Obrelazky had no direct relation to the bombings, however did have bigger plans. DoI agents then began to find the suspects, and killed one outside Kyiv.

The following day, agents in Bucharest found the second suspect, and managed to capture him before he was able to commit suicide. They took him in for interrogation, but was executed later after being unable to find anything of worth. The final suspect was found near Odessa, and he was killed. On September 21, the combined forces of Ispirium, UEF, Caledonia, and Poland invaded Obrelazky in a quick attack, and managed to take over Istanbul. The war against Obrelazky was finally over.

#### Bombing Conspiracies

About two weeks after the invasion of Istanbul, the Polish diplomat Spraw Zagranicznych was accused of plotting to bomb Ispirium after mentioning this, and he was arrested by the Department of Intelligence and taken to Chișinău Prison. He demanded to be freed, but he was restrained as Vladimir arrived at the prison to oversee operations. Spraw went through a mental evaluation, and it was found out that nothing was wrong with him, however he was starting to go crazy due to being in the prison. Spraw was put into an interrogation room, and Vladimir himself interrogated Spraw. He mentioned someone called "Doge," but most of the words spoken by Spraw seemed to be nonsense, and he claimed that he did not want to bomb Ispirium.

Spraw was transported to Poland, where he was imprisoned and removed from office as diplomat of Poland. Vladimir reported the results of the mental evaluation and the interrogation to Kralj Anatoly Seknov afterwards, and then he returned to Kyiv.

#### Running for Chancellor of Ispirium

In the 2052 elections for Chancellor of Ispirium, Vladimir decided to run in the Conservative party, going up against his long time friend Yuri Gorbochov, the current chancellor. He first announced this on the Christmas of 2051. In January 2052 he participated in the Conservative debate, against Yuri Gorbochov, and following was an Ispirium News Network opinion poll regarding the nomination, which he lost with only 25% of the vote.
