Name: Aleksandr “Sasha” Aleksandrovich Lagunov
Age: 22
Description: Aleksandr is about 5’6” tall and his slender frame is hidden by a heavy greatcoat. He has pale blue eyes and wears an ushanka over his short brown hair.

Background: Aleksandr was one of the thousands of young men who enlisted into the Red Army to defend the Motherland. He had only been out of basic training and assigned to the 284th Rifle Division, 62nd Army for a few weeks before the German forces approached the city of Stalingrad. The 62nd Army was ordered to defend the city at all costs, and Aleksandr and his comrades dug in to defend. Early in the battle, many of the junior officers and sergeants in his unit were killed, causing Aleksandr to receive a hasty field promotion to the rank of junior sergeant after rallying his leaderless squad during the fighting. Lacking much combat or leadership experience, he struggles to command his men in the bloody combat.
