Grigor Illyanich Stoyanovich

Grigor Illyanich Stoyanovich (Russian: Григорий Иллянич Стоянович) a.k.a. 'The Crocodile' was a fictional character is the Russian Campaign of Empire Earth. He was leader of Novaya Russia. He was unique among other heroes.

In his early teens, Grigor left his poverty-stricken home and joined the Russian Mafia. It was there he earned the nickname 'The Crocodile' after the brutal treatment he showed his enemies. His brutal nature, combined with his intelligence and charisma, made him a powerful and important figure in the criminal world.

The food riots of 2016 helped to launch Grigor's political career, not least because his own parents had died during them. In 2018 he entered the Presidential Race for the Ushi Party. When he was not elected, he rejected the government of Russia and formed his own state, Novaya Russia, in the southern part of the country. By the summer of 2023, Grigor had taken Moscow and was living inside the Kremlin.

However, the Western Nations were not pleased with Grigor's regime. Novaya Russia refused to pay the debts of the old Russia, and it was theorised that much of Novaya Russia's money was funded through the sale of illegal goods, such as drugs or weaponry. Many countries refused the accept the legitimacy of Grigor's rule, as did many citizens within Russia.
