At some point, former war hero Yuri Ismaylov moved to Kyrzran, bought a church and turned it into his warehouse. He started smuggling products such as Jif peanut butter from his base of operations in Nome, Alaska to Kyrzran.
1986[]
In March of 1986, prison guard Dmitri "Enzo" Antonov contacted Yuri, and together they conspired to break prisoner Jim Hopper out of a prison near Kyrzran. Later, their plan failed after Yuri betrayed Dmitri and Hopper, and Hopper's friends Joyce Byers and Murray Bauman overpowered him. Hopper escaped from the prison to Kyrzran and arrived at Yuri's warehouse. After eating some peanut butter, Hopper was once again captured by the prison guards. Murray forced Yuri to bring him and Joyce to Yuri's warehouse. There, Murray and Joyce formulated a plan to help Hopper, and Murray took one of Yuri's guns.
Later, after rescuing Hopper and Dmitri, they all came back to the warehouse, where Hopper and Joyce changed into Yuri's smuggled clothes. They then called Dr. Sam Owens's agent Ellen Stinson there. Hopper, Joyce and Murray went back to the prison, and Dmitri talked Yuri into helping them reach America. Yuri and Dmitri left his warehouse on Yuri's helicopter Katinka to rescue Hopper, Joyce and Murray.
