Yazov Novikova

Yazov Novikova, often refereed to as Usagi is the CEO of Sosya and an advisor to the Central Bank of Osorra. He is among one of the most powerful figures in the country although in recent years he has given up much of his power to his daughter, Klava. Yazov is knowing for being one of the country's most eclectic figures, having dabbled in music during his youth. Yazov is also known to have idiosyncratic religious and political beliefs. In interviews he has described his religion as "Tanets Solstana, stripped of love, in its place speed and karma" and "the Yarovar backwardness in our faith must be replaced with the poetry of the Futurists". He believes we are heading towards a "noosphere" and is a heavily believer in the unification of man and machine through cybernetics. His political views have constantly changed throughout his life, "from an ardent Marxist toeing the party line, to an ecosocialist, to a fascist, to a neoliberal, but finally I became a monk".

Yazov was born in 1957 to a family of military researchers located in a remote hamlet in between vast mountains. He went to a school for the children of military researchers. When he turned 15 he studied engineering in a special institute located in Cuzka. In Cuzka he began to dabble into politics and picked up the work of both domestic and international futurist writers. Yazov was supposedly fascinated by the ideas of Kapralov Artemiy Timurovich, particularly his vision to revive all the dead. He became a Marxist and became heavily involved with party organization. However he grew disenchanted with the ossification of the Osorrai Communist Party and its apparent rejection of many of Kapralov's ideas. He became an ecosocialist who called for a more decentralized version of socialism. He eventually wrote a dissertation on computational audio. At 22 Yazov secured his first job at a remote mental health hospital in a mostly native village. It is so far unknown what he did there but some speculate involvement in the Osorrai mind control program. All we do know is given extreme freedom at the hospital to pursue research he became a fascist during this period and read the works of many far-right Artmenians. He also became extremely interested in cybernetics and Keshian philosophy.
