Steven Jobson for Voice Actor
Supporting role for Oleg Gazenko, a 39 year old anthro rabbit man who works as a biologist and a supervisor for the Soviet space program, circa 1957. He's very friendly and inviting, sometimes injecting a sense of humor into otherwise tense situations. He becomes an assistant trainer for Laika, the orphaned Soviet dog woman who gets chosen for the one-way trip to space on board Sputnik 2. Like his colleagues, Oleg is troubled and uncertain about being involved with a mission that'll guarantee Laika's death if it succeeds. He's one of the few scientists who's willing to speak with her on a personal level, and helps to calm her nerves during her problems during training. From Oleg's point of view, it's the least he can do considering what he'll soon be complicit in.

Think of it like this: It's gonna inspire a lot of people when they hear the first person who ever went to space came from such a humble background. To show that any ordinary worker on Earth can get their name in the history books, even without wealth or status. That embodies the spirit of our nation.
He knows a thing or two about losing someone he cares about. First his wife to the gulags, then his son to war. The man has been through the wringer.
Is this your way of telling me you want to start mopping floors around here?
