Welcome to Street Fighter .

Zangief (ザンギエフ Zangiefu, Russian: Зангиев, Zangiyev) also known as the "Red Cyclone" (赤きサイクロン Akaki Saikuron?), is a national Russian hero who is always seen fighting for the glory of his country.

Zangief's fighting style is a mix of Russian and American pro wrestling.

Zangief is a national Russian hero nicknamed the "Red Cyclone". The President promised Zangief the country's full support in exchange for traveling around the world and showing off the might of the Soviet Union (and to improve his image abroad, an objective which Zangief wasn't made aware of).

During his travels to prove his Russian might, Zangief encounters Birdie, and the two trade barbs about their appearance. Later, Zangief meets Ken Masters , who calls him a 'mama's boy', angering him and starting a fight. After Ken is defeated, the President appears, congratulating Zangief, who is then sent to train in remote Siberia (albeit with a limited budget).

Of note is that in all his appearances, the President is never identified explicitly by name, but bears more than a passing resemblance to the real life former Soviet President, Mikhail Gorbachev.

Under orders from Gorbachev, Zangief is sent to combat the forces of Shadaloo, which is beginning to spread its corruption into Russia. Zangief encounters many fighters along the way, befriending some such as E. Honda and R. Mika. It is believed that he lost to Blanka before he could accomplish his final objective of destroying the Psycho Drive; however in his ending, he and Honda team up to destroy it (the canonicity of this ending is dubious). In R. Mika´s ending, she followed Zangief as he destroyed the Psycho Drive, and Zangief protected her from the falling apart base. It appears his story is a mix of the two. Nevertheless, the Psycho Drive gets destroyed by someone, at least, and Zangief returns to Russia satisfied.
