Sergei Sergeivich Bruskov (born 18 November 1963) is an Arkavan politician, former intelligence officer and general, who is the president of Arkava. Bruskov has held continuous positions in government since his retirement from the Arkavan Army in 1998, first working in the Internal Security Bureau after the end of the 1991 Arkavan revolution.

Bruskov worked as a BVB foreign intelligence officer for ten years after he first joined the Arkavan Army, rising to the rank of Major by the time the 1991 revolution began. It is rumored that Bruskov had contact with Alexander Minskov during his exile from Arkava between 1981 and 1991, which many believe explains the close relationship the two men had throughout Minskov's administration, despite Bruskov seemingly starting from relatively low administrative positions and rising quickly through the party ranks. After the revolution ended, Bruskov went back to work within the BVB, eventually rising to the rank of major general in 1998. He then resigned his commission to be appointed the Deputy Minister of the Internal Security Bureau, where he would work for roughly five years before being made the Minister of Internal Security and Prosperity in 2003.

It was in this role that Bruskov oversaw the crackdowns of religious freedoms and mobility in the southeastern region of Arkava, near the Glisandian border. Multiple terrorist attacks and some armed resistance lead to Bruskov implementing harsh reprisals, with casualties estimated in the tens of thousands. Utilizing reinforced military units and religious inquisitors from the Church, Bruskov maintained a harsh campaign of violence against Catholics, Protestants, and Muslim minorities around Kostrossyisk, Yarnovsk and Nakhonnosvk.

For his loyalty to the Party, President Minskov named Bruskov his successor in 2009 by naming him Prime Minister of Arkava after the death of Miloradov Nikitovich, one of Minskov's staunchest supporters. During Bruskov's 11 years as Prime Minister, he oversaw economic reforms to privatize much of the nation's industry, open the country to new markets and investment opportunities, while bolstering the BVB's domestic surveillance capabilities and funneling additional funds to the Arkavan military. In the last few years of Minskov's presidency, beginning around 2017, Bruskov was seen as the leader of the nation while Minskov's health declined. Upon Minskov's death on 15 October 2020, Bruskov was immediately sworn in as the next President of Arkava.

Early life

Bruskov was born in Kaluvda on 18 November 1963, the youngest of four children of Sergei Boronovich Bruskov (1913-1995) and Sara Ivanovich Bruskava (1916-1983), his father was a local Communist Party administrator and his mother taught elementary education at 120th Elementary School.

Education

Bruskov attended public schools throughout his primary education, often skipping grades due to his aptitude for mathematics and history. He graduated high school at just 15, and applied to the National Academy for Military Studies in 1978. At 16, he became the youngest Cadet on record to attend the academy, requiring special waivers to attend training and courses at the college. The military deemed that, since Bruskov would be over 18 by the time he graduated from the academy, they could make an exception on the age requirement given his special circumstances.

In the book, he comments on how these acts molded his mind and refined his soldier spirit and made him the leader he is today.
