Sasha (Irina Apeksimova) is a secondary antagonist in the 2003 action film "Red Serpent".
Sasha is an ex-KGB assassin who was originally only known as Aigul. She has since been hired as a henchwoman for Hassan (Roy Scheider), who is a drug-trafficker in Moscow known as Red Serpent.
Sasha first appears in the film when she acts for Hassan in a standoff with Michael Pare (Steve Nichols). Hassan has kidnapped Pare's daughter Anna Nichols (Irina Artsibashewa), and uses that to his advantage. Sasha ends up blowing Pare a kiss as she rides away on the back of a train, and blows up a nearby car.
Next Sasha appears in the passenger side of a vehicle, and executes a man dressed in a clown outfit that Pare is chasing. She smirks at him as the car drives away.
Sasha then appears as Hassan's lover, as she stradles him on a pool table. She later appears in a black wig as she dances nearby Hassan while he is on the phone.
Sasha is directly involved in the kidnapping and holding of Michael's daughter Anna.
At the end of the film, Michael chases Sasha to the roof of a building. Sasha's pistol is out of bullets, and as Hassan's helicopter begins to fly out of control, Michael punches her into the blade of aircraft. The only part that it shows being cut is her left arm. The blade of the helicopter more than likely decapitates Sasha and continues to slice up her body. Hassan's helicopter ends up crashing into the side of the building and blows up.
