background person facts

/p><p> [Background]###(As a child, she listened to the life advice of her uncle, a Marshal of the Soviet Red Army. Balalaika's father was allegedly either convicted by the USSR or had fled the country. Because of her father's convicted status, she felt she had to restore her family's honor. Instead of competing in the shooting competition at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, Balalaika joined the Soviet Airborne Troops (Vozdushno-desantnye voyska; Russian for "airborne troops"), also known as the VDV.[8] During her service, she first underwent training at a special training ground on Wrangel Island, Russian Federation,[9] and accordingly became a paratrooper and a veteran of the Soviet War in Afghanistan. An excellent marksman and sniper, she earned the nickname "Balalaika" (one of the Soviet army's slang terms for the Dragunov sniper rifle). Balalaika can be easily identified by the various burn scars on her body, which she received from being tortured by Afghan mujahideen for a month after being captured in Afghanistan, as stated by her former soldier in the first light novel.[10] During the Soviet invasion, Balalaika was recalled from the war by her superiors when she was a lieutenant.[10] Later, in 1987, Balalaika was called up again to return to fight in Afghanistan with her fellow paratroopers, and was promoted to captain in the Soviet Airborne Forces. In addition to fighting, Balalaika also interrogated prisoners of war during her service. Balalaika and her men were eventually discharged immediately after the war ended in 1989, with Balalaika being discharged for violating an international agreement to cross a border to save a child.)

Balalaika (Russian: Болалайка; Japanese: バラライカ Bararaika), real name Sofya Pavlovna Irinovskaya (Russian: Софья Павловна Ириновская; Japanese: ソーフィヤ・イリーノスカヤ・パブロヴナ Sōfiya Irīnosukaya Paburovuna),[1] the boss of a hotel in Moscow with a Thai branch in Roanapur.

person facts

The balalaika is a traditional Russian instrument with a triangular-shaped wooden body and three, or rarely four or six, strings. "Balalaika" is believed to be slang for the Dragunov sniper rifle, which is where Balalaika got her name from, as she used her marksmanship skills with the rifle in Afghanistan, earning her the utmost respect from the men under her command.

person facts

While her hatred for American soldiers is evident in her conversation with Caxton, she is never seen displaying the same hatred towards Dutch, who is presumably an American Vietnam War veteran. However, in the OVA Roberta's Blood Trail, it is revealed that Dutch saved Balalaika's life after the shootout with Mr. Chang at the boat dock. This explains why she made an exception for Dutch out of respect. In "Bloodsport Fairy tale" she mentioned the American new wave group Oingo Boingo and their song "No One Lives Forever".
