Bogdan: Jesus , do you feel the wired vibe of this place.

Kath: Yeah, think of all this , it looks like nothing happened here.

Bogdan: Here not, but the Americans made Siberia part of the Wasteland.

Kath: Huh ? That makes sense. So , why Americans got so much damage ?

Bogdan: The Russians didn't used nukes on them , America had good defences , but they used something worse, Katusha V.2 rockets. Mass destruction weapons that split up before being targeted by air defences , they did a good job for the Russians.

Kath: Still , there is almost no mess here . What is going on ?

Bogdan: The bastards got hit only in East , that means Asian part , aside that and Siberia , not much.

Kath: Hope we can find my mom.

Bogdan: Yeah, what's her name ?

Kath: Her name is Violet.

Bogdan: So, she gotta be here anyways.

Kath: They lied to me, how can we trust them ?

Bogdan: People always say the truth when they are afraid to die.

Meanwhile Sasha returned.

Sasha: Ok, if I am correct , the radio call should be right... about... now.

Soldier (thru walkie talkie): Sasha, come in , over.

Sasha (thru walkie talkie): Roger, Am I  allowed to proceed yet , over.

Soldier (thru walkie talkies): Yes Sasha , you can head there now , over.

Sasha (thru walkie talkie): Roger that , over.

Bogdan: Come on, Kath.

Sasha: Please , follow me and might put all weapons on safe, we are Russians but that doesn't mean we don't have discipline at all.

Bogdan: Kath, you might want me to take your rifle. That thing is so old , not even I know how to put it on safe.

Kath: Fine , take it. Can we sell it ?

Bogdan: You learn fast , I see , it is a cheap weapon, we can get something for it.

Kath: How about your's , it is pretty old.

Bogdan: No, no , no, my weapon is MINE , plus, it is my favorite.

Kath: As you say.

Sasha: Time to go, follow me.

They followed Sasha in to the Administration Office.

Sasha: Behind this door , death in person is breathing. *knocks at the door* . TOVARICH STALIN , REQUEST ENTERENCE .

Stalin (he speaks loudly) : Are the "guests" here ?!

Sasha : TOVARICH , YES.

Stalin: DAVAI, come in with "the commrades.

In the office , there was a tall man with an usual beard and an Ushanka hat . Bogdan observed that he might be older than McKenzie but indeed stronger than him.

Stalin: Privyet , Bogdan, I heard many about you lately , sorry for your loss , sincerely condolences.

Bogdan: I didn't wanted to remember that but , ok.

Stalin: You know , people die, I will even though I cheated death several times , have you heard about me , right ?

Bogdan: How can I not hear about a living legend .

Stalin: Impressive... Has Sasha already opened his big mouth and shouted my plans for you already ?!

Sasha : No, commrade.

Bogdan: He didn't.

Stalin : I am impressed , the idiot shuts up for the first time. Now , are you ready to open the gift boxes ?

Bogdan: Yeah, I guess.

Stalin: Your father's death and by obtaining the Wise-man's knife allows me to promote you to the rank of Sergent and send under your command Sasha and my other man, Ivan. *speaks thru walkie talkie* Harkov , in my office , 30 seconds.

Bogdan: Two men and promotion, lucky day, isn't it ?

Stalin: Indeed, here is your badge, now, Ivan must be here in a few seconds.

Ivan rushes in.

Ivan: DA COMMRADE , WAITINH FOR COMMANDS !!!

Stalin: Your new Sergent came here.

Ivan (shakes hand with Bogdan): Glad to hear it, sir.

Bogdan: Alright, the first rule under my command is not to call me "sir", try commrade.

Ivan: Yes sir.

Bogdan: But... just , call me however you want but not sir.

Ivan: But why, commrade.

Bogdan: See, commrade is good.

Ivan: Is she...

Stalin: ENOUGH QUESTIONS , IVAN !

Ivan: YES , COMMRADE !

Stalin : About that, young lady, I thought you were supposed to be dead, I never seen such living being like you but most definitely heard about the Animal Fanatics. Let's leave that in the past , shall we ?

Bogdan: Yes , we shall .

Kath : Wait , but...

Bogdan: Better for you to not know if you want not to kill yourself , trust me.

Kath: What ?!

Stalin: Please , commrades. For the time being here , you will receive an apartment in Moscow , near the zoo.

Bogdan: What zoo.

Ivan: Allow me to explain. Moscow has a zoo park where we are now growing pigs , cows , everything we can eat . There are blocks not far away and we decided to call them the apartments near the zoo.

Bogdan: Hold on, many people didn't died during the war...

Ivan: Yes they did, men ,woman and children alike were sent on the field ...

Stalin: That's enough information , Ivan.

Ivan: Sorry commrade , I just offered the information they needed.

Stalin: *sigh* , please excuse Ivan, he is actually 12 , although he knows ... well to much for his age, and by that I mean way too much.

Ivan: Many places that are now in the Wasteland were populated 50 % by Heterosexuals , 38 % by Atheists and only 22 % Asexuals .

Stalin: I told you.

Bogdan: An informant will be useful.

Stalin: Notice this is my best informant and I give it to an ordinary Sergent, it requires a price , you will complete the most important mission starting from now.

Bogdan: Shoot , I am all ears.

Stalin: You must destroy Biolab 69 located 30 minutes from our location .

Kath : YES !!!

Everyone looked at her.

Bogdan : I will explain later.

Stalin: Sasha , lead them to the Biolab , I want it destroyed in less than 2 hours.

Bogdan: We can do that faster.

Stalin: Perfect , I will be waiting , now GET OUT !

       They left the building .

Sasha: Ok, follow me and Ivan , this time we are killing .

Ivan: Because I am 12 it doesn't means I can't kill anyone , stop treating me like a child .

Sasha: Again , follow my lead.
