Crazy Ivan was a codename give to a Soviet explosives expert during GWWIII. Given an unlimited amount of TNTs to work with, they can cause considerable destruction if they can get close enough to strap bombs to their targets. These skilled, obsessed and insane bombers were shown to have quite a liberal attitude to their art, and they were able to strap bombs to nearly anything: they were seen strapping bombs to enemies, strapping them to their own soldiers (presumably so the soldier could charge forward into the Allied lines when the bomb went off), and they were even seen putting bombs on passing cows. They apparently gained immense pleasure from the sound of an explosion.
A Crazy Ivan blew himself up along with General Carville, just as he was opening the door of his office to leave for Germany (pictured). During the Psychic Dominator Disaster, the bombs entrusted to these psychopaths were improved enough to destroy war factories and ore refineries making them much more valuable.

The best defense against Crazy Ivans was to ensure that all entrances to a base were guarded (to prevent them from sneaking into the base). Pill boxes were a cheap solution for this, as they can gun down Crazy Ivans before they get close enough to do any damage. Engineers could defuse the Crazy Ivan's bombs.
Crazy Ivans are not known to be employed during World War III - presumably, the Soviet leadership consider them too dangerous.
