Name: Ivan Braginsky
Age: 41 (Physical) 1163 (Actual)
Height: 7'4"
Appearance: Thick chubby build, with a plump and soft stomach, rounded but and big pecs, but has meaty thighs and thighs, sometimes grows body hair and a stubble in winter, scar on neck.
Hair Color: Ashen Blond
Eye Color: Violet
Sexuality: Gay
Relationships: Good friends to all the nations, especially Alfred, happily married to Yao Wang
Ivan is no longer the pipe wielding psychopath everyone thinks of him to be, he is just a misunderstood innocent soul, and despite what everyone things, he and Alfred are great friends, as Alfred helped him back on his feet when the Soviet Union collapsed, they they have a friendly rivalry every now and then. Ivan's sounds a bit like the Regular Show character, Nikolai/Thomas, Ivan has a better personality that what is in canon. Ivan is happily married to Yao and always keeps their wedding ring on his finger, he finds it adorable when Yao rests his head on his chubby belly, since Yao is a lot smaller than Ivan, he can pick him up in his arms as if he weighs nothing. Ivan does feel insecure about his body, but Yao always comforts him. The ideal honeymoon for Ivan and Yao is not to kill Alfred, but a simple picnic in the woods, Ivan keeps a promise to himself to always protect his beloved Yao from anyone and anything. Ivan does not know how to "KolKolKol" as he does not understand the meaning of it, but often times at World Conferences, the other nations will do it as a joke, much to his annoyance. Ivan does have the so-called "Magic Metal Pipe of Pain" but he actually uses it as a cheap walking staff he made himself for hiking, but that does not stop from very crazy people to do unspeakable acts with it. Ivan, if he's upset, like his canon counterpart, is unpredictable, but not in the way you think as he does not beat you to a bloody pulp, one moment he is smiling innocently, the next moment towering over you, yelling at you and saying how you are the lowest scum of the Earth. Sadly, since Ivan is big, he does have trouble finding comfortable clothes and often wardrobe malfunctions because he is so big, to he either knits his clothes himself or has someone tailor him, but that does not mean Alfred is safe, he has the same problems, but the two always give friendly jabs, with Ivan winning most time.
Legend of the Holy Mountain (Mount Athos)
Ivan Milev, Bulgaria, 1926
The painting is inspired by the story of the Blessed Virgin Mary, sailing accompanied by St John the Evangelist from Joppa to Cyprus to visit Lazarus. When the ship was blown off course to then-pagan Athos, it was forced to anchor near the port of Klement, close to the present monastery of Iviron. The Virgin walked ashore and, overwhelmed by the mountain's wonderful and wild natural beauty, she blessed it and asked her Son for it to be her garden. A voice was heard saying, "Let this place be your inheritance and your garden, a paradise and a haven of salvation for those seeking to be saved". From that moment the mountain was consecrated as the garden of the Mother of God and was out of bounds to all other women.
An exception of the no women on Mount Athos rule is Helena of Bulgaria (b.1315 - d. 7.11.1374), wife of Serbian king and later emperor Stefan Dušan(b. 1308 - d. 20.12.1355, reign 1331-1355), who avoided breaking the ban by not touching the ground for her entire visit, by being constantly carried in a hand carriage.
