Sasha Baren

Biography:
A famous actor turned political; Sasha was one of the most famous comedians in Moscow’s entertainment scene. His plays on the folly of U.S imperialism and the dangers of capitalism brought the laughter of many of those that came to see his works. He was among the few cultural icons that managed to escape to the underground as the nuclear sirens went off, running into the station as his entourage (or maybe they were just terrified people?) slowed down the guards around him. The damp corridors of the Metro station made entertainment a necessity for people living underground; and Sasha saw the chance to entertain a new audience. A group that would come to marvel at plays and shows would be about remembering the illustrious past for a stronger future. This dream however would end; as an altercation whilst traveling with a small caravan from his home station led to a permanently disfigured arm and a missing leg. Distraught, Sasha rerouted that energy for theatre into speeches and talks meant to rile the citizenry to a common cause.
