1Maybe culpability? Blame the Americans.– VillanCommented Sep 7, 2021 at 18:42

2@DVK-on-Ahch-To - Nope. He's a covert assassination asset. Even his identify (and existence) are a closely guarded secret.– ValorumCommented Sep 7, 2021 at 18:46

12Deniability? If word gets out about your secret KGB assassin, it's nice to have a convenient excuse like "look, he's not even Russian!"– CadenceCommented Sep 7, 2021 at 18:53

6I won't watch the films again just to confirm this, but according to the fan wiki he received a version of the Super Soldier Serum in Hydra custody. After that, he might be simply have been the best available raw material - after all, Winter Soldiers were brainwashed, so it doesn't really matter what and who they were before. Plus having their dirty work against the US done by an US American sounds like very Soviet idea of having fun.– Eike PierstorffCommented Sep 7, 2021 at 19:23

3I'd throw this back and posit that the Winter Soldier is not actually a 'hero' per se. He's a tool sure, but not a hero. He's kept secret. Take the Red Guardian for example, he's a publicly known and sort of celebrated super soldier.– MöozCommented Sep 8, 2021 at 2:20

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
