'''Viktor Drugov''' was the former Leader of [[Nation/Stratarin|Stratarin]] and the General Secretary of the [[Strataric Communist Party]]. After being removed from office by [[Mikhail Starikov]] at the start of the [[Auroran-PacificCerenerian War]], he went into exile in [[Great Morstaybishlia]], a decision voted by the parliament and given royal assent by [[Lambertus VII]]. It went against the order for his capture by his home country, and henceforth severed ties between Great Morstaybishlia and Stratarin.

During the heat of the APWACW, Drugov was under close protection by the MIB. It was believed that the country was at risk of breach by a task force from Stratarin, which led to excessive border checks and tighter policies with incoming cargo and tourism. He immediately begun studying the [[wikipedia:English language|Staynish language]] in Fort Bersius University, which he had some knowledge on before entering the country. He graduated in after completing a two term course in 2019. He passed his Morstaybishlian Citizen Test in March 2019 and is now a registered Morstaybishlian citizen living in Sani Bursil. He has stated on social media's site CafeNet that he plans to study Morstaybishlian politics later this year.

Viktor Drugov enlisted in the Strataric military aged 21. He rose up the chain of command until his promotion to brigadier general. He backed the Communist Revolution in 2001, more specifically Ruslan Voronin and his policy, including the [[Nation/Stratarin#Economy|Five Year Plans]]. After a few years in office, Voronin began sending many politicians and co-conspirators who had helped his regime and rise to power to the gulags. Viktor Drugov, with help from other likeminded people including his old friend Rurik Lukin, began orchestrating a coup, stirring up deeply-buried resentment in the people and bribing politicians for aid or information. After several years of careful planning, Voronin was assassinated in 2007 with Drugov succeeding him as General Secretary and Premier. Already well-liked by the people of Stratarin, Drugov immediately ended the isolationist policy and, though he did not completely discontinue them, he improved the working conditions in the Gulags drastically. Furthermore, he appointed an entirely new assemblage of ministers from those who had helped his cause, perhaps most notably Rurik Lukin, and a rising star in the Strataric Military, Anatoly Baryshnikov. There were some institutions that he kept from his predecessor’s reign, such as the [[STP]] and the Five Year Plans.
