Piggystroika

Piggystroika is the team that plays in red and represents the Russian Army. Their name is based on word-play with Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of Perestroika when he was the leader of the Soviet Union. Their name as well as certain thing's Piggystroika's hogs say suggest that the team represents Soviet-era Russia/The Soviet Union, rather than a First World War era team, unlike most of the other teams.

The team consists of a combination of: Yehudi - A quiet, posh, sometimes sinister hog Rimski - A quiet, un-confident and masochistic hog Pesski - A Pavlov Checkov (from the Star Trek series) expy Mule - A chirpy, confident hog Snowski - A chirpy, patriotic hog Huski - A hard-working country,potato farmer hog Muski - An eager, conscientious hog Duski - A smooth-talking, laid-back hog Jetski - An unsure, unconfident hog

Piggystroika's legend, an unplayable character found in the Well, Well, Well! mission is named Yakobski

Hogs in the heavy weapons path from Piggystroika wear a grey fur hat.

Piggystroika's national newspaper is called Squealer
