The Sopranos Wiki

Sasha (Russian: Саша) was a Bratok of the Russian Mafia, hired by Junior Soprano, along with Nesterov, to perform a mock execution on Christopher Moltisanti for robbing trucks under Junior's protection.

They abducted Christopher after after buying from an ice cream truck, laughing as he snatched the chocolate treat away from him. Dragging him by the neck to the pier, Nesterov held Christopher down as Sasha cocked his gun and aimed it. Christopher, believing Tony Soprano had put a hit on him for selling crystal meth to his daugther Meadow, pled for his life and how he only did it so Meadow wouldn't be hurt buying meth in a dodgy neighborhood. Sasha still pulled the trigger, but it didnt go off, revealing the gun was unloaded. Sasha grins while making the signing of a cross gesture and made a disgusted face when he realized Christopher went number two in his pants. He then laughed and kicked Christopher to the ground and left, leaving him there in pain.
