"Who Archer think he is? Only guy who want father?"
—Boris[src]
""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 becomes Katya's latest love interest, after she dumped Barry. His sudden 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.


Following the events of Lana Kane's promotion to Owner & Spymaster of IIA, the UN are voting to outlaw independent spy agencies. Boris makes his finally return to the series as part of the criminal organization Silver Wolf run by Katya.

    • Note: The comic book Boris is reading is titled "Страна Герои" ("Hero Country"), with a collectivized farming cover that mimics "Action Comics #1", the June 1938 comic book issue in which Superman debuted.

Trivia[]

  • Boris is a reference to the character Ronnie from Frisky Dingo.
  • Boris is not a reference to the character "Boris" from "Rocky & Bullwinkle/Boris & Natasha". Even though both they have Russian accents, both characters are named "Boris" and attached to secret spy agencies.
