Calm in a crisis: Specialist Alexsandr "Tachanka"
Senaviev's original file doesn't cover much more than that. So along with our
meeting, I wanted to dig deeper into field reports and observe him in training
before I could reassess his background.
Senaviev
has a boisterous sense of humor with a booming laugh. He can be quite blunt,
but without the intent to offend. Personally, I appreciate someone with
clarity. […] He's dedicated to his team and is focused and calm during
operations. That said, I've also observed some frustration. There's a
contingent of specialists who passionately support him, yet Senaviev feels he
has potential that he doesn't know how to maximize. It's clear he wants to be a
devastating force so I suggested changing his approach. If he studies his team,
in particular, he should search for gaps in their strategy. it's there he may
just find a place where he fits. […]
Senaviev's
younger sister is a doctor and our discussion had barely started when he was
showing me pictures of her in her doctor's smock, along with a dozen more
photos of his nieces and nephews and his own kids. […] He and his sister grew
up in a strict household without many things, which is why he makes a great
effort to enjoy life. They both make sure that their kids are loved and raised
with laughter. At the same time, he doesn't like to buy or accumulate physical
objects and emphasizes this with his children, much to their consternation. I
suspect that's also partly to do with his divorce. […]
Though
Senaviev is dedicated to his country and appreciates the life his patriotism
has brought him, he has adamant that his son and nephew not make a career out
of the military. "They can do the obligation," he told me. "Then
go be useful in something else." And so what Senaviev wants for his family
and friends - for them to find a role where they feel useful - is what he's
trying to find for himself. It's up to Rainbow, as a team, to guide him.
