Russian soldiers.

Kirill Sergeevich Volkov (call sign “Kedr”)

· Age: 32 years.
Origin: Born in a small mining town in Kuzbass, the son of a miner and a teacher.
Education: After high school, he entered a military academy but was expelled for fighting. He served his mandatory military service in the Airborne Forces, where his talent for the practical use of weapons and small-group tactics was revealed. After his service, he returned to the city and worked in a mine, but was called up for partial mobilization.
Career: Thanks to his experience and natural acumen, he quickly found his way into assault units. He has no academy credentials, but possesses phenomenal survivability, battlefield intuition, and an unerring sense of mines and ambushes. He is the de facto "tactician" and the main strike force of the group. He rose from conscript to contract soldier in an elite unit in a year and a half.
Personal motivation: He views war as hard, dirty work that must be done well to end it quickly. He doesn't dwell on politics, but clearly understands who and what he's fighting for—for his own people, for the land where he grew up. He's the group's backbone and "fist." He can be relied upon in any situation. He's stern, laconic, and values ​​action over words. He's practically inseparable from his machine gun.

Maxim Igorevich Lebedev (call sign "Young")

· Age: 22 years.
Origin: From a family of Moscow intellectuals. His father was a historian, his mother an architect. He studied philosophy at Moscow State University and was interested in history, orienteering, and airsoft.
Education: Didn't graduate from university. In 2023, after the death of a close friend and volunteer, he volunteered for military service under contract, bypassing partial mobilization. Completed an accelerated reconnaissance assault training course at a training center.
Career: The least experienced of the group. He possesses brilliant theoretical knowledge, excellent physical fitness, and a keen mind, but lacks the "dirt of experience"—that animal-like, subconscious adaptation to war. During his first operations, he made several mistakes, resulting in a minor wound and the death of a fellow soldier from another unit. Since then, he has struggled with internal self-reflection and the fear of letting down his new comrades.
Personal motivation: Driven by a complex mixture of ideological maximalism, guilt over a fallen friend, and a pressing need to prove, first and foremost to himself, that his choice was the right one and that he is worth something. He's a "feeler" and an extra pair of eyes in the group. He's been assigned the task of covering the rear and flanks. He's tense and internally unstable, but possesses an extraordinary willpower and learns voraciously, absorbing every detail from Olga and, especially, Kirill. His main battle is still being waged internally.

Anna "Anji" Markovna Koval (call sign "Shtil")

· Age: 26 years.
Origin: From a family of ship repair workers in Murmansk. She lost her parents at an early age and was raised by her older brother, who served in the Northern Fleet Marines.

Career: Specialist in electronic warfare, secure communications, and command and control channel hacking. Worked in a signals intelligence unit, participating in cyberspace data collection. Transferred to assault reconnaissance at her own request after her brother's death in the southern front in 2023.
Personal motivation: Driven by a quiet, cold rage and a desire to be at the forefront, not in the rear. Despite her technical background, she has undergone rigorous physical and firearms training. She is a key link in the group, maintaining communications with command and jamming the enemy. Outside of combat, she is withdrawn, reticent, and finds peace only when fully concentrating on her equipment or in a state of combat readiness.

Personal motivation: For her, what's happening is not just a duty, but also a personal mission to protect the historical memory of her family and the city where she grew up. A pragmatist, she avoids big words, believing only in precise calculation, training, and the reliability of the combat team. She makes decisions coldly and calculatingly. Within the group, she is the informal leader in operational matters and the eyes of the squad.
