Fictional biography

Borat Sagdiyev is said to have been born on July 30, 1972 in the fictional village of Kuzcek, Kazakhstan, to Asimbala Sagdiyev and Boltok the Rapist (who is also stated to be his maternal grandfather). He has a 13-year-old son named Hooeylewis and 12-year-old twin boys, named Biram and Bilak, as well as 17 grandchildren. He has an older sister, Natalya (who he says is the number four prostitute in Kazakhstan) and a younger brother, Bilo who is mentally retarded. It is also revealed that he has two wives as well as a mistress, a girlfriend, and a prostitute with whom he has had affairs on several occasions.

Borat is shown to have been married several times, after first having been betrothed to his half-sister's plough while in his teens. His first wife, Oksana, was said in the Borat film to have been raped and killed by a bear while taking his brother Bilo for a walk in the forest. Borat was not affected by this tragedy; on the contrary, the movie shows that he celebrated his new-found freedom by pursuing and eventually marrying Luenell, an African-American prostitute he met while filming his documentary.

In his fictional, professional life, Borat is a journalist and presenter on Kazakh television. According to various in-character interviews given by Sasha Baron-Choen, Borat attended Astana University, where he studied English, journalism, and plague research. During this time, he created five new plagues which he says "killed over 5 million goats in Uzbekistan."^[4] Prior to this he worked as an ice maker, animal sperm retriever and gypsy catcher.^[5]

Borat was nominally atheist for most of his life (like most people from the real life [[Post-Soviet the animist mythologies that are still common in his rural Central Asian home. However, in the film he attends a Pentacostal church service and later converts his village neighbors to Christianity.

Borat greatly admires the political views of Joseph Stalin, saying that both he and Stalin are strong and have powerful "khram" (penis). He is strongly against women's rights and was especially stunned upon learning of women's suffrage. In his spare time, he enjoys playing ping pong, sunbathing in a green slingshot thong, disco dancing, spitting, sitting on comfortable chairs, and taking pictures of unsuspecting women while they "make-a-toilet".
