Borodin

"Well my friend, you must be very lucky, or have a small head"

- Borodin

Sgt. Borodin was a Red Army Sergeant who was sent to Stalingrad by a row boat like many other soldiers.

Biography
Alexei Ivanovich Voronin ran into the Sergeant while he was pinned down and Borodin decided to give him a job. He tells him to run to a truck to distract the machine gunners so he can draw a bead on them. Borodin then catches up to Voronin, and then he tells him to run to a red car. Borodin takes out one machine gunner and catches up with the Voronin once again. Next, he tells him to run down to a bombed out building when he notices the Commissar which killed the Soviet soldier running down the embankment. The player must run to the side or the sniper's bullet will kill them. Once they jump into the building, Borodin tells the radio man to hurry with the artillery. After the Soviet artillery barrage, he says that they were retaking Red Square. It is unknown what happened to him after that.

Non-Canon Death
Sergeant Borodin can be killed if cheats are enabled. Enable the UFO cheat, fly up to the MG-42s, get on one, and fire at the Sergeant. It will take a while for his name to turn red, but he will die. Fly back to the Sergeant, and he will drop dead when the player nears him.
