Soviet Commander (Red Alert 1)

This Soviet Commander was one of the USSR's most skilled and loyal strategists during the Great World War II. Much of his past remains unknown.

This promotion led to him being involved in missions directly ordered by Joseph Stalin himself. NKVD leader Nadia was one of the Commmander's greatest proponents during the war, while Field Marshall Gradenko seemed cynical of the Commander's abilities. Eventually, Gradenko's mistakes led to his removal, and the promotion of Georgi Kukov, who was generally more supportive of the commander. However, after a failed bid to capture an Allied Chronosphere, Kukov also turned on the Commander, attempting to blame him for the failure. Once again, Nadia aided the Commander, proving that Kukov had neglected to inform the Commander of certain vital intelligence. Stalin proceeded to snap Kukov's neck.

Following the war, the Commander was the highest ranking Soviet leader, following Stalin's murder by a vengeful Nikos Stavros, and Nadia's mysterious assassination.

Interestingly, Nadia is alleged to have been a member of the Brotherhood of Nod, alongside Stalin's personal aid, who bore a great resemblance to Kane. If this is believed, Nadia's assisting the Commander with moving up the Soviet hierarchy would likely be an attempt to make the Commander, whom Nod could likely control, Chairman of the Soviet Union. This would've necessitated assassinating Stalin.
