Cool.
I do believe that would make the first real Russian in wwe.
Is he first in all of American wrestling?

He was born in Russia but grew up in Dresden, Germany, so he definitely has German citizenship and it's more likely he sees himself as German or at least Russian-German.

I believe this has come up before but yes...
I think closest otherwise is Kozlov who was born in Kiev when it was part of the USSR.

Alex Koslov, though born in Moldova is an Ethnic Russian, was signed to a developmental deal for a short while.

Aksana was similar, born in Lithuania when it was USSR as well And Marina Shafir who's a Moldovan. I think Kozlov might be the only wrestler who was actually from the active USSR who did an Evil Soviet gimmick.

I wouldn't mind if he was called up to the main roster, but it might be too soon. Wouldn't want to be Russian things.

Things are a wee bit tense these days. Obviously you can't go far into it due to the rules, but I'm sure a fair number of these individuals born in former Soviet bloc countries would take issue with being characterized as anything remotely Russian.
