He had a simple life, and he wanted to keep it simple for as long as he could. There was never need for anything extravagant, any form of self-satisfaction that was beyond the norm, and all the things that people craved - riches, cars, gold - he cared for none of it. The simple life was the way to go for him. Born in Zelenogorsk, Otar witnessed the life of a Soviet citizen as it was - a part of a collective organisation that promised to empower the people, but was so heavily drowned in government bureaucracy that there was never going to be a real resolution to it all. All the promises made by the people in charge were often in vain, and eventually Otar witnessed the protests that began in the eighties, quickly growing into a movement that caused Chernarus' separation from the Soviet Union. Deep down, Otar figured that the changes brought about by the new leadership of the CPSU was the real cause of these problems, and it has become a goal of his to restore his country to greatness, one way or another.
