Anatoly Cherdenko

"Hey, comrades! That's Anatoly Cherdenko. This guy told us that a new world order awaits, just right after we've done our best to assassinate Valentina Matviyenko, the late Chairwoman of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation."

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Fall of Valentina Matviyenko

Anatoly Cherdenko (Russian: Анатолий Черденко) is the Chairman of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation the Third World War, having been a mere colonel in the time before the assassination of Valentina Matviyenko.

Background
He held the titles of Chairman of the Federation Council and General Secretary of Vladimir Putin, during World War III, giving him a position synonymous with the towering rank of a Soviet Rose Army Force commander Joseph Stalin and the Chairman of the State Duma Alexander Romanov. He was directly responsible for the outbreak of the conflict by unintentionally bringing the dying Albert Einstein in 1953 to the modern world using Dr. Gregor Zelinsky's time machine and making World War III as worse as that. His interference in the time-stream was the only way he was made the Chairman of the Federation Council; and so former General Romanov never came to power as the Chairman of the Federation Council, leaving Cherdenko the de-facto Chairman of the Federation Council in his place. This makes him Matviyenko's actual successor respectively. Luckily for him, Romanov is instead elected as the Chairman of the State Duma, so they became friends with one another.
