A [[Russia]]n, he was not an original cast member, but was brought in for the second season. Since the series took place when the [[Cold War]] was going on, when [[Gene Roddenberry]], the series' creator, noted an article by the Russians mocking Star Trek and American arrogance, he remedied that by adding Chekov. The Russians had pointed out that they were the first ones in space, but there was not a single Russian on the space-based show.
