Overseeing the Red Room
"He oversaw something called the Red Room which was managed for him by someone known only as Madame B.."

- Thaddeus Ross to Hawley

General Dreykov became the overseer for the Red Room program, a top-secret Soviet brainwashing and training program that takes young women and turns them into the world's deadliest and most elite assassins. Dreykov had Madame B. manage the program for him, training the young girls.

At some point, Dreykov's attention was brought to Natasha Romanoff, an orphan living in Russia. Dreykov recruited the young girl and put her in the Red Room program to be trained by Madame B. Later, there would be an incident with Dreykov's daughter involving Romanoff that would become a predominant event in her dark past.
