A man of few words and even fewer fucks, Serik Usenov saw no need to exit Soviet Ground Forces when his conscription was up.  He enjoyed being a tanker and the thought of spending a few years at a politekhnichnyy instytut before taking a job in some factory for the next 30 years scared him more than dying in Afghanistan.  It was there he served with Evgeny Zhukov, who, having recognized a good solider when he saw one, was more than willing to turn a blind eye to Usenov's very moderate, but very offensive to the Party, Islamic religious practices.  Both avid horsemen, the two bonded over horse-riding, if not the Kazahk practice of horse eating.  Through luck (or perhaps a series of forged transfer orders) Serik has served with Evgeny ever since their time in Afghanistan.
