Short Biography: Vasily comes from a modest family from an unimportant part of Planet Volgograd. His mother and father were dedicated Communists and loyal members of the Party.
Every bedtime story was either a cautionary tale of the evils of capitalism or of the great glory that was achieved by the revolutions on Earth in the distant past.
Vasily's mother was a civil servant, involved in the allocation of heavy machinery to different regions. Vasily's father was an architect, during the day he would create new and more efficient buildings for people to live and work. At night he would spend his time creating plans for numerous patriotic monuments, and his son would attempt to recreate scale models of these using his toy blocks. Vasily particularly enjoyed helping to create monuments for future victories, the execution of the Queen of Bretonia, a statue dedicated to labour to replace the stock exchange on Planet Manhattan, and so on.
These are the dreams that filled his childhood, and being relatively successful at school Vasily tried to continue in his father's footsteps Vasily by studying architecture at university. However, during his studies, his father suddenly died. In the bitter weeks and months that followed, Vasily came to realise that the only thing that would achieve his father's dreams was action. Thinkers and builders would not be able to bring about the liberation of Sirius, the forces of reaction would never allow it. Instead, they would only come about through force of arms. As such, Vasily dropped out of his studies and applied to join the SCRA.
