In-Game Biography
President of Ukraine
To those in the nascent Republic of Ukraine, Ivan Dziuba appears to be the ultimate countryman, a writer and thinker who has done all he can for his country. His writings have spread far and wide, following the Republican army in each town they liberate. Rather than speaking to the hardened insiders, Dziuba spoke to everyone, to all those who sought a better future for Ukraine. Rather than following the road of hatred like many nationalists, he has struck out on a socialist and anti-chauvinist nationalist program. His words have captured a nation - and seemingly, they have also created a president.
The incoming president may be inexperienced - he is young, just barely thirty years of age, and has until now been more defined by his thoughts than his administration. Yet President Dziuba knows his words, his nation, have the power to create something greater. The Ukrainian people are free - now, they must learn to be themselves.
Now, they must learn to survive.
Head of the Department of Finance and Cooperation
Ivan Dziuba is a man of letters, a dedicated nationalist who believes in the sovereignty of the Ukrainian people. He is a staunch anti-chauvinist whose concerns for ethnic minorities has brought him into conflict with more conservative elements within the UNRA. He is a committed leftist who sees a bright future for all Ukrainians if she has the will to fight for that future.
What he is not is an economist or a manager. Nevertheless, a man of letters is needed to look after the logistics needed to support this insurrection. Though lacking in economic expertise, Dziuba is committed to the cause and has a vision for the future. Perhaps that is all Ukraine needs for now.
