The young Russian navigator Pavel Chekov was added to “Star Trek” in its second season as a way to attract more young female fans to the show, following the success of the pop-idol show “The Monkees,” with Chekov even sporting a hairstyle similar to that group's Davy Jones. That Chekov was a Russian was no mistake either, a symbol of the nation with which the United States was competing in the 1960s Space Race.
