- ""Come on, buddy."
- —Boris
Boris AKA Jakov's Assistant, is a reliable KGB soldier that often assists Nikolai Jakov with a variety of tasks as he is desperate for Nikolai's attention. Boris also sabotaged the paternity test to see if Sterling Archer is his biological son due to his jealousy.
His rank is Junior Lieutenant, but he manages to exert high authority in carrying out missions and setting KGB direction, such as green lighting a cyborg project that turned Barry Dylan into the man made of metal fused with flesh that he is today. Ironically, this act would lead to Jakov's dismissal from the KGB to be replaced by Barry, something Boris did not handle well.
Luckily, Barry's leadership was temporary, as Boris is now assistant to Katya Kazanova when she becomes the head of KGB. Eventually, Boris eventually becomes Katya's latest love interest, after she dumped Barry. His suddenly large decrease of intelligence has made him something of a disappointment for Katya. This dense version of him may very well just be a disguise, to rule himself out as a possible candidate for whatever the next master plan is that he may be concocting.
