Appearance = height: 6’0” (182cm), eye color: Brown, hair color: Brown, wavy

Personality = Alexei had a very childlike personality. During his brief partnership with Hopper, Joyce and Murray, he was shown to enjoy Slurpee's and cartoons (such as Woody Woodpecker and Looney Tunes) and longed to join in the festivities at the Hawkins 4th of July Fun Fair. Alexei was also overjoyed to win a giant stuffed Woody Woodpecker at the fair moments before his death. Whilst Alexei was mostly friendly to his captors, at times he was shown to have a cunning side, only offering his knowledge of the Russian's operations in exchange for things that benefit him, such as his favorite cherry-flavored Slurpee's. When he received a different flavor, Alexei refused to help until he got what he wanted. Alexei was easily entertained, amazed at the sight of the 7-Eleven and the numerous items for sale, as well as the 4th of July Fun Fair and winning a prize, likely due to these absent luxuries in the USSR, and speaking of which, he was easily entertained and interested in trying new things such as, when he tasted the Cherry Slurpee mix, he grew attracted to it and asked Jim for a Slurpee of cherry flavor and when he saw Jim smoking, he tried to smoke and liked that. He also shows great accuracy and precision, as he won a game of Balloon Darts without missing a single balloon. Alexei enjoyed the American way of life and was willing to defect from the USSR and even asked Murray about becoming a US citizen after helping them stop the Russians.

NSFW = Alexei seems to be a very innocent person, with no experience in the sexual sense, but willing to learn. Being quite curious, he may end up looking for more information about it if he is interested.
