The Full Moon and a new Russian Assassin

Galina Voronina

The last ACInitiates update, as we thought, created a ruckus among the fans and inside the ATA Team. Following our research, we wrote this brief analysis down:

- The full moon brought us a new blonde Russian Assassin, named Galina Voronina. The name Galina has a Greek origin and it is the Russian variant of "Elena": it means "calm" and "quiet". On the other hand, the root "Voro" from her surname means "thief". She wears the classic signs that distinguish the Assassins: the hood, the white and red clothes and, guessing from her arms position, two hidden blades.

- Galina asked Gavin's team for a particular mission, that is to assassinate her mother, an Assassin scientist who built her own Animus in the laboratory where she worked with the rest of her team, forcing them into it. This reference to the laboratory could lead us to the Protvino laboratory. In this case, therefore, Galina's grandmother may be the writer from the ASSASSIN SCIENCE CITIES memory, and so the wife of Sergei, the Assassin who was searching for Nikolai Orelov in the early pages of "The Chain".

- The women surname in Russia, if they are not married, is the father's last name conjugated in the feminine form. So if Galina’s surname is Voronina, if there had not been a surname change in her previous generation and her grandfather is Sergei for real, then Sergei’s surname is Voronin.

- If these theories are reliable, then Galina’s mother is in Protvino and so Gavin and his team must go there to get her, after dealing with the other Assassins ("The remains of the Russian Brotherhood") driven insane by the Bleeding Effect.

ASSASSIN SCIENCE CITIES by ACInitiates

- Depending on the tests that Galina’s mother conducted on her Assassin colleagues, it’s possible that several data about both her colleagues and their ancestors can be found in the laboratory.

- The mother of Galina, according to the latter, swears that she is talking to Eve through the Animus. This can be interpreted in many ways: our Assassin scientist may have found a way to easily access Eve’s memories and relive them, or, through her ancestors, she may have relived a moment in which they met Eve or it’s even possible that this dialogue with Eve is caused by the Bleeding Effect if she subjected herself to prolonged sessions in the Animus.

- The presence of this possible data about the Russian Assassins together with the potentially very important information about Eve may be an explanation for the presence of the backdoor connecting the Abstergo server to the Assassin laboratory in Protvino without the Templars assaulting the facility or spying it directly.
In addition, through the backdoor, the Assassins from the Protvino laboratory could have stolen the Animus blueprints. So this could explain how Galina's mother succeeded in builduing her own version of the platform. Alternatively, it is also possible that, as a result of the "theft" of the Animus projects (potentially at the hands of Lucy as seen in the Abstergo site e-mails) in 2012, the Assassins may have shared these projects with the various teams around the world.

- The construction of the Animus by Galina's mother may also have another origin. In the AC: Brotherhood e-mails, William writes to Shaun:

"Moscow- They remain safe and secure. They are currently chasing a potential lead on another Piece of Eden, so fingers crossed on that one. I've done a little research for them myself and have confirmed a few of their suspicions so it's looking good at the moment. "

"Moscow- They remain safe and secure. The lead they've been chasing is becoming more and more promising. It's checking out under cross reference and they've been undisturbed by Templars to date. They're keeping security tight and staying vigilant but it's nice to get some good news for a change. "

So it is possible that after the "theft" of the Animus blueprints, these projects may have been shared by the Assassins to their various cells around the world. In particular, the search for the Piece of Eden by the Russian Assassins mentioned by William in his e-mail may have been carried out with the Animus built by Galina's mother. Perhaps it is precisely because of this research that Galina's mother "went nuts" and forced his "colleagues" on the Animus.
In this case, how comes is Emmett so surprised by the existence of an Animus in the Assassin laboratory?
What do you think?

The last science city by Initiates

Around her neck, Galina wears the pendant of the Russian Brotherhood that we already saw in "The Fall"

Around her inches, she has a sort of "rubber band". It may be the mechanism to draw the hidden blades, a very realistic representation.

A brief search showed us that the Assassins are at Maly Zlatoustinskiy Street Sun 2 /

in a hostel called Napoleon Hostel
.
On the right side of the image, we can see an advertisement on which we can read

which should be interpreted with "Let's have a cup of coffee". This is an advertisement for a coffee brand that has a matrioshka as insignia. This logo can be seen on both the wall and the cups on the table (On the cups there's probably written:

, meaning "coffee")

Galina shot Emmett a look when he tried to explain her that "you can't actually talk to anyone in the Animus, it's a one way experience". Could it be that she reacts that way because she is convinced that her mother succeeded in changing the Animus technology in some way? Or could it be also that Galina's mother was able to talk to Eve through a Nexus or that she reached the TWCB era through the Animus experience, being able to directly interact with Eve?

As of now, this is our analysis. We are waiting for new details relying on ACInitiates.
