BACKSTORY

	 Nikolay Volkov was born to one Leonid Kozak Volkov and Barbara Carosella. Barbara had been an American journalist at the time she met Lenoid, a state farmer who had served in the later years of the Eastern Front in World War 2. Barbara had been attempting to see the city of Leningrad in an attempt to open the world's eyes to the supposed goodness in Communism. Her visit was to be 2 years on length, and after just 5 months, had already planned on a family with Leonid, who she met shortly after coming to the U.S.S.R. She became pregnant in the begin of 1953, towards the beginning of her visit, but, slowly saw the fruitlessness of her task in Eastern Europe. She gave birth near the end of 1953, and in January of 1954, left Russia with her child and Leonid, who had always talked of going to America with her from her time in Eastern Europe.

    With Barbara's vision in shambles, she returned home with her newfound family, however, to her it was tainted. They were Communists and there was no love to be given to them. Soon after landing in New York, she would begin to help Leonid and Nikolay get their papers, which, for Nikolay was rather easy due to him being half American and a toddler. However, with she got cold feet and in June of 1954, left Leonid in New York, moving away somewhere in the Southern United States. With his family torn apart and stuck in a country he was technically not suppose to be in, Leonid now faced and extremely hard situation with his child.

    Raising Nikolay proved to be difficult for Leonid. He had always dreamed of being a father, but never imagined his son growing up without a mother. Leonid taught Nikolay about Russia and Communism at a young age, while also teaching him to accept being American and the freedom it had with it too. The two conflicting ideals struggled greatly with Leonid, and even much so with Nikolay.

    Nikolay had a pretty normal home and school life outside of missing his mother. On the surface, he spoke English well enough to cover his ethnicity and was adopted into American ideals and ways very early on, allowing him to keep himself out of the Anti-Communistic ideals that late 50's and early 60's America had adopted. His daily teachings were usually about the horrors of Communism, while at home, his father taught him about the glory of Russia and the wonders of it before Stalin's time. His dad taught him to be prideful of his origin, something Nikolay struggled with for awhile. However, it was soon to be too much, and Nikolay soon became Pro-Communist in his later high school years, which lead to him loosing many academic and finical avenues open to him due to his support of the support of his homeland.

    With all options nearly taken out from under the rug, Nikolay would enlist in the United States Army. Eager to go to Vietnam and see the effects of Communism and maybe even defect to the Reds, he would go through boot camp and be assigned to the 9th Infantry Division in Vietnam as a machine gunner. He would enter the war in late 1963 to serve two tours until he left in 1973 due to injuries acquired from a Soviet F1 Grenade. He would spend time in a hospital in the Philippines before being dismissed in 1966.

	Nikolay entered the states in around early August and intended to try and reconnect with a former girlfriend, Samantha Treager, he'd seen before the war. Under the assumption the two were still in a relationship, he'd find she had been unaware of his arrival back into country and had been in a relationship with one Michael Halliburton. Volkov, according to Santa Cruz Officers, assaulted Mr. Halliburton violently before setting fire to Miss Treager's car. Volkov was picked up and sent to the Dept of Corrections in Santa Cruz before being released in 1969 on good behavior.

	He'd soon go off the grid in late 1969, reportedly buying a property in mid-1970 in Kentucky, however no records support this claim. As far as anyone who knew him knows, he could be dead.
