Armie Hammer on his Russian roots and his Cyrillic tattoo:

"I got this tattoo when I was 18 years old. I got it to pay tribute to my Slavic heritage. My brother has the same one, and my father does too. Our family came from the Soviet Union; my great-great-grandfather was born in New York but constantly traveled back and forth. He had the chance to work with Lenin, Brezhnev, and Gorbachev. He very wisely stepped aside from Stalin, as he knew that "friendship" with him would not end well. My great-grandfather was involved in big politics and trade with Russia. I know that he was a key figure in organizing the summit between Reagan and Gorbachev."
