Daughter of a Greek Orthodox Priest and a Russian Farmwife, Elena's upbringing was rural, but not entirely sheltered. While neither a radical nor a dissident, her father was arrested in her teenage years and died in a Siberian prison. Her mother, a practical woman, remained on their farm and kept her head down.

Elena was less inclined to toe the line. She took up her father's secular profession as a mechanic and engineer, but she was unable or unwilling to hold her tongue in public spaces, earning her the unwanted attention of certain officials who decided they were best served removing her to the ass end of nowhere.
