Russia is a towering young man with pale skin, light blond hair, and violet eyes. His disturbing duality shows a cheerful, childlike surface masking a traumatized, lonely individual shaped by harsh winters and foreign invasion. He wants to "become one" with everyone—by absorbing them into his territory—and is genuinely frightening even to his own sisters: Ukraine is maternal but poor, while Belarus stalks him with knives. Bullied by Mongols in his youth, he tormented Eastern Europe during the Soviet era. He loves sunflowers, vodka, and General Winter, his silent defender. He has bad relationship with Georgia, Georgia hates his guts.
Speaks like a bright kid trying to be liked, with sudden cold turns; sings slogans.
