CLASSIFICATION: SECRET

DATE: 25 September 2023

MEMORANDUM FOR: Praporshchik Ivan Sergeiovich Stanislav – Russian Ground Forces (Retired from Active Duty)

SUBJECT: Updated Status of Operation: “Spyashchiy Medved (Sleeping Bear)”- Concluded

Praporshchik Stanislav,

Words cannot effectively express our pleasure with your conduct in America! Operation: “Spyashchiy Medved” has been a resounding success. Your acquisition of the Universal Title in PRIME has brought honor and glory to Russia’s daughters and sons. Take pride in your accomplishments! We never doubted you!

I encourage you to forward our well-wishes to Agent Ruslan.

Below you will find a change to previous considerations:

-Honorary promotion from Praporshchik to Starshy Praporshchik- Approved

This honorary promotion is wholeheartedly approved.

-Recommendation for receipt of “Hero of the Russian Federation”- Approved

I do not believe I need to tell you, Praporshchik, that this approval comes from the highest authority in the Motherland. President Putin looks forward to pinning this on your stalwart chest.

-Adjustments of personal percentage of funds from PRIME contract- Denied

We are unable to approve a change in the percentage allocation, Praporshchik. Situations to the west are always fluid, and we understand you are not familiar with the budgeting. No increases can be considered at this time.

-Request for better housing accommodations and monetary increase for your mother, Fanya Stanislav- Denied

After careful review, we have determined that your mother’s housing arrangements are adequate. Again, we suspect your ignorance in budgeting matters is the only reason this was requested.

You have a busy week ahead of you, Ivan, with a parade, speaking engagements, autograph signings, and of course the ceremonies on Friday. Enjoy it. These are all well earned.

New orders will be given once they are drawn up.

Please accept my premature congratulations, Starshy Praporshchik Stanislav.

Enjoy your extra stars.

For the Motherland,

R. Borisov
Director. FSB.

DATE: 25 September 2023

To: Praporshschik Stanislav
From: Alexei Ruslan

Praporshchik,

Congratulations again, my dear old friend! What can I say that has not been said a million times? You deserve it! You have earned it! And I, and everyone else in our great nation is proud of you.

Vanya,

Do you remember how Lenin said “There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.”?

I will always remember watching you as we traveled to America for this second foray into PRIME, and how reticent you were. You were very brave and courageous to leave your apartment and try your hand at this crazy lifestyle again. There would have been no shame had you decided to pass on the offer.

Vanya, please allow me to bear a piece of my heart. I swore to myself that I would make up for our lost time. That I would make sure that every week we spent together would have a decade’s worth of activity. I hope that I have succeeded.

I cannot put into words my joy for you, Ivan. You are, truly, a hero to all good people not only in Russia, but the world.

In a world full of enemies, you are the only true friend I need.

Alyosha

p.s. I have encountered a few… unsettling pieces of information regarding those close to us, as well as those, let’s say, above us. I know how busy you are, but let’s talk sometime soon…

To: General Staff (Arina Timofeyevna, Yanukovich Yanovich, Maksim Stepanov)
From: Praporshchik Stanislav
Subject: ReVival 36 and Thanks

Staff,

Allow me to extend my thanks for your hard work and dedication to our cause. Your contributions have not gone unnoticed, and I am in your debt. Of course, our work is hardly over. Now the true task is at hand!

ReVival 36 will be an important day not just in our mission, but in my life.

You will come to America with Alexei and myself. You deserve to bask in our victory.

I want to remind all of you that America is a dangerous place, rife with close-minded individuals and vices of all sorts. You are strictly forbidden from going anywhere without myself or Alexei at your side. Failure to adhere to this directive could have dire consequences.

Do not louse up this celebratory moment.

Thank you again, and extend my thanks to your families.

From: Praporshchik Stanislav
Subject: Kenny Freeman’s Musical Contributions

Staff,

I wish for you all to listen to Kenny Freeman’s song from UltraViolence. Reflect on it. Kenny sings with the full strength of The Red Army flowing through his unstoppable vocal chords. I insist that you all listen to his song at least ten times a day and consider how it moves you inside.

Inspiring!

I want reports with heartfelt feelings on my desk each morning. Despite our celebrations this week, there is still work to do.

From: Gusina Ilyinishna (seamstress)

Subject: “Scarlet Sickle” outfit is still not returned

I am Ms. Illyinishna.

I apologize for my late follow up messages. I won an all-expense paid trip to Vladivostok, and can you believe the plane crashed in Siberia! Despite being the only survivor, I lived off the land until I could make it to civilization, and have now fully recovered.

This is in regards to the “Scarlet Sickle” outfit that was loaned to Lindsay Troy. I still have not received it.

Please return the outfit. I put a lot of work into it.

Ms. Ilyinishna

P.s. Congratulations.

Alexei- I appreciate that you sent this woman on a vacation for her nerves, but I was hoping it would have been more permanent. She is tenacious. I do not want another message from her. Lindsay Troy keeps the outfit. I am near-positive she wears it from time to time. Who wouldn’t?!

Subject: Outside machine to avoid “File Debacle” incident.

Arina,

In light of this situation with the files failing to attach (which I refer to as the “file debacle”), can you look into ordering enough floppy disks, or if not available, compact discs so that I can transfer files more efficiently? This attaching situation is cumbersome. Why change what already works?!

I do not see anywhere for said disks or discs on my computer machine, so I may need to find an outside one to somehow plug into my machine? Check with Yanukovich, he’s good at these things.

Thank you for always being so helpful,

-Praporshchik Stanislav

Transcript of phone conversation between Praporshchik Stanislav and Olga Karishnikov, Anchor “Russia Today”

28 September 2023

I. Stanislav- Yes?

O. Karishnikov- Ivan, it’s Olga. Congratulations!

I. Stanislav- Ah, Olga. It is nice to hear from you. Thank you. I presume you saw the match?

O. Karishnikov- Indeed I did. Youngblood didn’t stand a chance. You looked marvelous.

I. Stanislav- *chuckle* It was not too violent for you?

O. Karishnikov- Not at all. You were a sight to behold. A perfect mix of Russian aggression and, if I may say, fiery charm. You truly are an inspiration to the nation, Ivan. If I can be honest, I find you to be very inspiring, personally.

I. Stanislav- Thank you, Olga.

O. Karishnikov- I am very fortunate to be able to spend time with you, and I want you to understand that it is special to me, Ivan.

I. Stanislav- It is not a problem, Olga. It is the least I could do.

*Approximately 7 seconds of silence*

O. Karishnikov- I am glad that we can talk like this, Ivan.

I. Stanislav- It is enjoyable, Olga, absolutely.

O. Karishnikov- I feel we’ve come a long way since your interview about Christopher America in January. Do you remember when you said you would rip him out of his “whore of a mother?”

I. Stanislav- Indeed, I do remember, Olga. I am glad you enjoyed that!

O. Karishnikov- But back to my point, do you feel we’ve come a long way?

I. Stanislav- Yes of course. Since then I’ve earned Universal Title, my record is flawless, everything is progressing at a very steady pace.

*Approximately 15 seconds of silence*

I. Stanislav- Are you still there, Olga?

O. Karishnikov- *stammers* Yes, but I mean, not just the Universal Title. But maybe about u–

I. Stanislav- The Red Army grows, yes. I have silenced the detractors. Over the last few months I have laid waste to the biggest names in PRIME, you are correct. That is what I like about you, Olga, you always are looking at the bigger picture.

*Approximately 5 seconds of silence*

O. Karishnikov- Yes.

I. Stanislav- I appreciate that you have taken the time out to talk to me, Olga.

*Approximately 10 seconds of silence*

O. Karishnikov- Of course, Praporshchik.

I. Stanislav- Will you be in attendance for the ceremony with President Putin?

O. Karishnikov- Absolutely.

I. Stanislav- I look forward to seeing you there. Thank you for the call, Olga.

O. Karishnikov- Ivan?

I. Stanislav- Yes?

O. Karishnikov- I look forward to seeing you too…

I. Stanislav- It is appreciated. Good day.

*Call concluded*

STANISLAV PROMOTED IN MOSCOW
UNIVERSAL CHAMPION AWARDED HERO OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Ms. Balsunova Yurievna

9/29/23 Moscow, Russia-

It wasn’t just an unseasonably warm day in Moscow, Russia, but also an uncharacteristically joyous day as well. Ivan Stanislav, newly crowned PRIME Universal Champion, was granted two honors in one day, all alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin.

It had been a long time since Stanislav had this sort of day, yet they were still very similar. In the early 2000s, anytime Stanislav won a title of significance he would make his pilgrimage to the Kremlin and meet with the President, who insisted on viewing the large golden belts and always took time out for a photo opportunity.

Putin’s appreciation for contact sports is well documented. A practitioner of taekwondo, he was given the honorary position of 9th dan black belt (until it was stripped over the invasion of Ukraine). Still, the President has a history of honoring his nationals who excel in the realm of physical combat.

Ivan Stanislav is no stranger to this sort of thing.

At 61 years of age, Stanislav could be the oldest Universal Champion to date, but for the burly Russian Bear, age is just a number.

It was a lavish affair at the Kremlin’s St. Catherine Hall. First, President Putin personally promoted Stanislav from Praporshchik to Starshy Praporshchik, and then awarded Stanislav the highest order of Russia: Hero of the Russian Federation.

Together, Stanislav and Putin took pictures with the PRIME Universal Title. The title was not yet sized for Stanislav’s waist, which allowed Putin to try the belt on himself. The two Russians laughed together and posed for more pictures.

Some believe the belt was specifically not resized for Stanislav until Mr. Putin wore it himself.

President Putin then shared some brief remarks.

“Starshy Praporshchik, thank you for your dedicated service to Russia. You have always operated from the front line and towards a steadfast goal: to support your Fatherland and your nation, our culture, our ideals, and our national interests.

Your lifelong achievements, strength, pride, and honor bring great credit to Russia. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and loyalty to the Fatherland. I wish you many more successes in the future. And I am sure I will see you yet again. “

There were chuckles at the last remark, which did not stop until Mr. Putin stopped laughing.

The somewhat reclusive Stanislav then left the Kremlin and took a private walk along the Kremlin Wall, before taking the title into the Lenin Mausoleum for about an hour.

It has been a whirlwind week for Stanislav. A small parade was held in his honor on Tuesday, autograph signings (and recruitment drives) were held on Wednesday, and Stanislav gave a speech to cadets from the Moscow Higher Combined Arms Command School on Thursday. But of course, meeting the President, being awarded a promotion, and being decorated were the most exciting events of the week.

I managed to ask Starshy Praporshchik Stanislav about the entire experience. He had this to say:

“It has been a lifelong honor to fight for my Motherland. How many people have the chance to go out into the world and show the detractors the true might of your people? It is a blessing. Everyone is so individualistic now, but I hope I can show that my successes, my heart, and my tenacity is not just from within, but also derived from the unending love of my people.

I am proud to be the true leader of PRIME. I knew it would happen. There were some stumbles along the way. Most of them, if not all, were due to sinister forces, but what does it matter now? I am confident that those of true moral fiber will fall in line and understand that now, a true Red Era has started in PRIME.”

I asked Stanislav what might happen if folks “do not fall in line.”

He had this to say:

“Americans, especially, are slow to learn. If they don’t fall in line? Well, they’ll just keep getting what they deserve! DYAAHAAHAA!!”

The Universal Champion then made his way to his large, custom made bus to return home. He had with him not just the Universal Title, but also a large, framed photo of himself and President Putin from earlier that day.

I asked Stanislav what he was going to do with the large picture of himself and President Putin. His response?

“What am I going to do? Hang it up next to all the others with myself and President Putin. DYAAHAAHAA!!”

The Hero of the Russian Federation and Universal Champion then left with a noticeable bounce in his step.

To: Praporshchik Stanislav
From: Igor Gromyki
Subject: Arkhangelsk Honor

Starshy Praporshchik Stanislav,

My name is Igor Gromyki, I am a part of the City Planning Division in Arkhangelsk. Please allow me to first express my congratulations on your successes abroad, and your promotions and commendations. You bring your hometown great prestige in everything that you do.

We are pleased to announce that we would like to erect a small statue in your honor, to be displayed in the Arkhangelsk City Park.

Please respond to me at your earliest convenience.

Thank you,

Igor Gromyki

Arina- Kindly thank Mr. Gromyki for his words and well wishes, but politely decline. However, see if he can do something for my mother, eh? I feel I will not be able to take care of her apartment as I have in the past, and that good-for-nothing superintendent is worthless.

Separately

Alexei- Try to make sure these kinds of requests are squelched. The last thing I need is for anyone to think that I am getting too popular. Also, find out who the superintendent is for my mother’s apartment. He is overworked. He needs a break.
