Biography[]
Konstantin was born on January 3, 1941 in the USSR. Little is known about his biography before the Vietnam War.Yushin is a very brutal, submissive and strong man who doesn't necessarily like to torture people, but he has a morbid curiosity about it and does whatever Podovsky tells him to do. In 1985 helping Podovsky torture John Rambo into calling Marshall Murdock about not sending further rescue missions. Yushin does this by elctrocuting Rambo on an improvised device made up of a metal bedspring mattress and a power generator.
When this fails, Yushin pulls Rambo's own knife from a fire and drags the heated blade along his cheek, cutting the skin and instantly cauterizing the wound. Rambo only agrees to comply to Podovsky's demands when Yushin threatens to put the heated blade into another POW's eyeball. While on the radio, instead of ordering no further rescue missions, Rambo threatens Murdock and then fights his way out of the prison camp, throwing Yushin onto the electrical device in the process, cranking up the juice and temporarily electrocuting him. Yushin is seen co-piloting a helicopter and attempts to kill Rambo with a fuel bomb, which he narrowly escapes by jumping from a waterfall into a river. He flies around over the water and has a door gunner fire a machine gun at him, but Rambo survives, throws the gunner into the water and boards the helicopter. Yushin tries to fight Rambo off in an intense hand-to-hand fight sequence (similar to olympic-style Greco-Roman wrestling). However, Rambo manages to get the upper hand by pushing Yushin out the helicopter. Yushin plummets to his death from a great height.
