Kashirin

Colonel Kashirin was a Soviet Political Operative and the captain of the Russian freighter Barasheebo, which was docked in Tokyo harbor and secretly armed with a nuclear missile intended for use against Godzilla. When Godzilla attacked Tokyo and damaged the Barasheebo, the weapons systems malfunctioned and began automatically counting down to fire. Kashirin, mortally wounded from Godzilla's attack, vainly sacrificed his life trying to stop the launch.
