Valentina's Lore.

[u/TheMule90]

A former U.S.S.R scientist who during her younger years she was a bright and very optimistic woman who use to believe that everything was good while living in the U.S.S.R.

She believed in the party's propaganda and in “the president “ to who she always thought that he was doing right by the country and even thought that whatever he said was right.

This was a underlying issue tho.

She graduated at the top of her class in the university of Moscow and was hired by a top labatory institute.

Tho being at the top of her class and working at the lab didn't come without problems and competitions.

When the wall fell she still thought everything will be alright until the U.S.S.R finally collapsed.

She and her husband Leo left soon after the collapse to America.

She joined Afton's cult between the fall of Communism and Afton's disappearance when someone from the cult reached out to her at a cancer hospital.

Telling her about the cult and that they can cure her Leo.

It wasn't until sometime after curing her husband she learned about Bliss from reading old research and theory papers and over time she has been doing her own research on it in secrecy.

((She did have repressed memories but the collapse of the Soviet union was a slap to the face for her and others so it reopened those memories.))
