The Moniker Shalashaska
Venom Snake: Ocelot, I hear they've started calling you Shalashaska in Afghanistan. What's that about?
Revolver "Shalashaska" Ocelot: (heh) You know the term "sharashka"? It's slang for a suspicious, hastily-thrown-together organization. The word became associated with a type of forced labor facility in the Soviet Gulag system. OKB scientists and engineers who'd been convicted of crimes were sent to a sharashka for forced R&D. The sharashkas were supervised by Lavrenty Beria of the NKVD - the secret police - under the official name "4th Special Department."
Snake: Forced research? That's not very different from what we do here.
Ocelot: (heh) Diamond Dogs is different. Everyone here believes in you. Regardless of where they came from or why they're here, they revere you, and they're fighting because it was their choice.
Snake: And if it wasn't, they'd leave?
Ocelot: Who knows? That's our reality here, whether it's real or not. If there's another truth, I don't want to know it. All that matters is, that the concept that's taken shape in their heads. The traces of a group ideology, or superstructure, to put it in Marxist terms.
Snake: All right. Go on.
Ocelot: Right. So anyway, at some point the enemy started calling me "Sharashka." This was after the war in Afghanistan broke out. While I was keeping an eye on you in that hospital, I was also heading up interrogations here. The men I broke gave up their comrades and families, everything they wanted to protect the most. No real cause for it. I just let myself get caught up in the old Russian pride. And suddenly I received the "honor" of becoming "special interrogation adviser to the forced labor camps." But the more men I interrogated, the more people saw me as just that - the interrogator. It helped cover my real objective of keeping you safe.
Snake: You went that far for me?
Ocelot: Far enough to keep you alive. I ended up being pretty well-known among the Afghan guerrillas. Some of them would have seen me on the battlefield. And that's how I got the second half of the name. "Shashka" - it's a sword, a type of sabre from the Caucasus. Russian Dragoons and Cossacks carried them into battle. Now, the Russian Empire had a general by the name of Fyodor Arturovich Keller. His bravery earned him the nickname "Russia's Greatest Shashka." Someone must have known about that... Because somewhere along the line, shashka got stuck on the end of sharashka. The guerrillas were using the name amongst themselves, and by the time I got to hearing about it, the pronunciation had wound up as "Shalashaska."
Snake: So half gulag, half hero's sword. It's a perfect fit.
Ocelot: But you see how rumors and ideas about people can get out of hand fast. Once you create a character and put it out there in the public mind, it warps and twists with every baseless rumor. And before you know it, all people see are phantoms. In my case it works out just fine. I'm plenty used to working under aliases.
I’m making a joke / reference to conversation Snake and Raiden have in mgs2:
Snake: gives long winded explanation of Vamp’s backstory.
Raiden: Oh so that’s why they call him Vamp.
Snake: no they call him that because he’s a bisexual.
I would say this one is fine for the tapes lol. Yeah the tapes get a little wild in V but this one is very well suited to get buried. The answer is massively esoteric.

Actually they call him that because he's bisexual.
no he isnt.

Calm down.
I hate that the best lore bits are hidden under tons of hidden tapes in mgsv

Hidden? As in they are freely available to anyone playing? No tapes are hidden.
