Misha Mikhaylov

Misha Mikhaylov colloquially known just as "Misha" is a member of the Osorrai Triumvirate and an Osorrai Co-Chief of Staff. He is thought to be the single most powerful person in the country and effectively serves as the chief of the current ruling triumvirate. While having significant power in the army, Misha has large business ties as the head of the Mikhaylov Family controlling assets of an estimated 150 billion dollars - a large amount of that stuffed offshore. He dominates anther wing of Osorrai politics known as the Mishaists - who in contrast to the Orlovists are pragmatists and realists who support state ownership in key industries and crackdowns on rent seeking. Misha's economic views are generally mercantilist - wanting a large trade surplus and energy/food self-sufficiency. Many of Misha's allies are technocrats who call for rational and pragmatic policy informed by statistical analysis.

Misha has been the most important statesmen in modern Osorrai history - engineering the current political status quo, giving the country grounding in terms of diplomacy/trade, and reviving the economy. Misha has been very effective at securing allies all across the divided and unstable Osorrai political establishment while building strong coalitions. Misha is frequently touted as an "authoritarian" abroad due to his illiberal policies and police crackdowns. Misha, while competent at economic matters, is a strategy and military man at heart, skillfully weaving his way through the political arena. He enjoys widespread support in Osorra due to his image of a strong and capable leader who successfully navigated the country away from post-Communist choas.

Misha was born into a prominent military family in 1971. He lived in Cuzka for most of his childhood and went to advanced schools for the tutelage of party elites. Misha had a strong mathematical and strategic acumen and was the national youth chess champion in 1985. He proceeded to study economics and there he built the connections that allowed him to play a key role in Osorrai shock therapy. He was one of the young economic reformers that helped draft Osorrai privatizations. He built a large business empire in the following years from formerly public assets. When the Beskonechnaya Noch began he joined the army and utilized his connections to become a high ranking general. He executed many skillful maneuvers, but many suspect nepotism is what allowed him to rise to the High Command. Misha also became Prime Minister in 2005 and executed a series of nationalizations and economic reforms to cement his place. With the coup in 2014 he created the triumvirate to replace the Tsar temporarily until he returned.
