Boris Grishenko is a
character from the
James Bond film,
GoldenEye.
Portrayed quite aptly by
Scottish actor Alan Cumming, Boris is a
playful pervert, constantly
bombarding his
coworker Natalya Simonova (played by
Izabella Scorupco) with
images,
riddles, and
passwords involving
slang or
derogatory words for parts of the
female anatomy. If he were working in the
United States, Boris would be a likely
candidate for
lawsuits involving
sexual harassment. He also
types with one hand, while
subconsciously twirling a pen in the other.
Boris and his coworkers are
employed by the
Russian Army at the
Severnaya installation, which is a
military facility dedicated to the
launching,
deploying,
targeting,
guidance, and general
operations of the GoldenEye
satellite weapons. Boris is one of the
lead programmers of the weapons'
systems, is an accomplished
hacker, and is part of General Arkady Grigorovich Ourumov and Xenia Onatopp's plan to
steal the weapon.
The role Boris plays in this becomes
evident when
Boris decides to take a
smoke break exactly when Ourumov and Xenia come to steal the weapon, killing everyone who works at the facility (as far as they know). Natalya manages to
survive, and lives to become the
Bond Girl. Having been
outside, Boris survives and joins his
comrades.
