Ameshar Barzhenev (Solar Wars Map Game)

Ameshar Barzenev (2066- ) was a Martian colon of Russian ancestry who took power 2106.

Early Life
Barzhenev was born to a modest family on September 26, 2066. His father was Pyotr Barzhenev, the grandson of an obscure Soviet commander, of whom which, with his wife Anastasia, were one of the first human inhabitants on Mars.

In 2088 he finished a degree in economics at St Basil's University, the very first academic institution on the Red Planet. He first worked as a professor on economics, but decided to run for politics later.

Rise to Power
Barzhenev first entered politics in 2096 as mayor of Marinersburg, the capital of colonial Mars, but he resigned two years later. Seeing that Earth and his home planet has been drained mostly of natural resources and some regions are in a state of poverty, he began to imbibe Marxism.

Soon, he developed a charisma among the laborers and the poor, which allowed him to merge the labor unions into the Worker's Liberation Movement. In 2104 he led a massive strike in the capital, with recupressions on other colonies. As a result he was convicted of high treason and sedition, and imprisoned in a high-security compound for 18 months before he was acquitted in 2105.

Setting him free, he then went to exile, established a liberation army, known as Emancipation. He invaded the Red Planet, but unsuccessful. He and his remaining forces formed the 26th of September Movement, where it began to gain momentum. He estabilshed a provisional government, with himself as Chairman.
