He grew up listening to stories of what Russia was like before the USSR rose up and closed it’s iron fist on the country.  Dureke was never blind to the failings of the system he lived under, his parents were not satisfied with the education that the government was providing him so very early on they started to teach him what they could of the sciences when he was at home. By the time he was thirteen he had a basic college level understanding of physics, chemistry and biology. Over the next few years they focused on biology only because it was their area of expertise and they were able to bring home materials from the labs they worked at.<br/><br/>As the USSR started to fall apart and the civil war broke out Dureke joined many of the other youth as they fought for a freedom they had never known. For the first few months he was working alongside his parents at one of the city hospitals patching up the wounded fighters who were brought in. Things changed when the Soviet troops pushed into the city Dureke joined the ranks of the fighters that defended the city.<br/><br/>As the war ended he left Russia to go to university in the Euro-zone. While at school he took every opportunity to do HALO jumps as well as any other activity that would give him an adrenaline rush that he had gotten so used to while fighting in Russia.<br/><br/>After getting a degree in bioengineering he left earth to work on the moon base working on closed biospheres until he was accepted for the pathfinder mission.
