Ludmilla Vobet Drago (Brigitte Nielsen) is the secondary antagonist in the 1985 film "Rocky IV".
Ludmilla was the double-gold medalist in swimming from the Soviet Union. In the film, she serves as a trainer for her husband, boxer Ivan Drago.
It was reported in the movie that, six months before Ivan fought Rocky Balboa, that they were very poor. She shaved her head to make a profit.
Lumdilla is a tall statuesque blonde who is extremely arrogant and somewhat sadistic. She has a cruel streak about her, which showed when she began smiling when Drago beat Apollo Creed to death, and when Rocky challenged Drago.
In a news conference, she insisted that the fight be held in Moscow for her husband's safety, him having received violent threats after his ill-fated battle with Apollo, and criticized the United States for thinking themselves better and more moral than Russia.
During the training sessions, she is shown injecting her husband with genetically enhanced drugs (steroids) to help him gain an upper hand.
Following Drago's defeat by Rocky, Ludmilla is last seen dismayed over her husband's defeat.
