Biography[]
Borodin's death
Borodin was born in the Russian SFSR of the Soviet Union, and he became a mega-billionaire and business oligarch after the fall of the USSR in the 1990s. A wealthy Borodin moved to the United States and attempted to buy a section of Central Park on which he could build his own mansion, but these efforts proved fruitless. Around the same time, Borodin was accused of financing terrorist organizations, as he was suspected of giving financial aid to groups such as the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria and other separatist and Islamist groups. In 2008, the Central Intelligence Agency decided to eliminate Borodin, who had become a threat to national security, and the CIA entrapped criminals Niko Bellic and Little Jacob into doing this job for them. Borodin's helicopter was shot down by Little Jacob over the Hackensack River as Bellic chased after Borodin's helicopter in his own chopper, and the CIA managed to kill Borodin and his pilot without harming any civilians.
