Description: The Red Army (Russian: Рабоче-Крестьянская Красная Армия, Raboche-Krest'yanskaya Krasnaya Armiya; RKKA (Workers’–Peasants’ Red Army) was the Soviet government’s revolutionary militia beginning in the Russian Civil War of 1918-1922. It grew into the national army of the USSR. Since 1946, after the Second World War, it was called the Soviet Army.

The 'Red Army' name refers to the traditional colour of the workers' movement. This represents, symbolically, the blood shed by the working class in its struggling against capitalism, and the belief that all people are equal. On 25 February 1946 (when Soviet national symbols replaced revolutionary national symbols), the Red Army was renamed the Soviet Army (Советская Армия, Sovetskaya Armiya). The Soviet Army was among the largest armies in history, from the 1930s until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Trivia: SovietSoldierNoForm is used in Training and Lightning. This actor name ensures that you cannot take their uniforms. In Renegades, they won't shoot you unless provoked.

Unnamed Soviet Defector



Actor Name: Volkov
Body Texture Name: volkov2_body.dds
Head Texture Name: volkov2_head.dds
Weapons: TT-33
Found in: Hotel
Affiliations: Hotel Guests, British Intelligence
Description: This Soviet defector has been supplying the British intelligence service with top-secret information through an unnamed diplomat. They're currently meeting at the Hotel Metropol, and Strogov is tasked by SMERSH to eliminate the traitor without the diplomat knowing and replace the traitor's documents with false ones.
Trivia: This traitor is a second Volkov skin. You cannot use his clothes!

Volkov



Actor Name: Volkov
Body Texture Name: volkov_body.dds
Head Texture Name: volkov_head.dds
Weapons: Colt M1911A1
Found in: Embassy
Affiliations: Embassy Guest of Honor
Description: Volkov is a Soviet agent who plans to defect to the British and hand over the Cambridge Five to them in return. Because of this, Strogov is tasked by SMERSH to eliminate Volkov. He occasionally heads over to the staff lounge and have a coffee, so maybe you could use that opportunity to your advantage...
Trivia: Volkov may get his name from Konstantin Volkov, a real-life Soviet diplomat who was assassinated by a Soviet agent before he could defect to the British (though it happened at the British Embassy to Istanbul). By eliminating Volkov, Strogov would ensure that the Cambridge Five would not be known publicly for another couple of decades.

Both the traitor in Hotel and Ivan Melnik in White Head are based on Volkov. You cannot use his clothes!

Ivan Melnik



Actor Name: Volkov
Body Texture Name: volkov3_body.dds
Head Texture Name: volkov3_head.dds
Weapons: Silenced Luger P08
Found in: White Head
Affiliations: Gestapo

He has information about the Soviet intelligence network in Paris, and is currently doing business with Standartenführer Gerd Richter at Chateau de Limothe. Strogov is tasked by SMERSH to assassinate both Melnik and Richter.
Trivia: Melnik is a third Volkov skin. An early model of Melnik exists in MoT's files and is used in MoT's trailer, but in the final product, Volkov's model is reused for him (albeit with a new skin), possibly to make the name "Volkov" synonymous with Russian traitors. You cannot take his clothes!

Body Texture Name: nikolaev_body1.dds, nikolaev_body2.dds
Head Texture Name: nikolaev_head.dds
Weapons: TT-33

At one point, he was captured by the Germans and persuaded to work as a saboteur for German intelligence to undermine the Soviet war effort. Strogov is tasked by SMERSH with capturing Nikolayev and two other saboteurs, Shestakov and Starikov, without any of their associates knowing and prevent any sabotage attempts. Strogov is also ordered to kill Nikolayev if capturing seems impossible.
Trivia: Both Nikolayev and Shestakov are the only NPCs in the DtS games who carry backpacks, but you can't take them off their bodies, because they're actually a mesh. A "Kotlyarov" is mentioned in the VCH briefing for Polish Surprise - whether this is Nikolayev or not is unknown. An unused body texture, "nikolaev_body1.dds" is in MoT's files. It's basically "nikolaev_body2.dds" without the backpack straps. You cannot use his uniform!

Strogov is also ordered to kill Shestakov if capturing seems impossible.
Trivia: Both Nikolayev and Shestakov are the only NPCs in the DtS games who carry backpacks, but you can't take them off their bodies, because they're actually a mesh. An unused body texture, "shestakov_body1.dds" is in MoT's files. It's basically "shestakov_body2.dds" without the backpack straps. Shestakov is said to have a wolf tatoo on his chest, but you won't see it since you can't use his uniform.

Starikov

Body Texture Name: starikov_body.dds
Head Texture Name: starikov_head.dds
Weapons: TT-33
Found in: Renegades

Description: Aleksandr Itisov, aka Starikov, is a former submarine midshipman in the Black Sea fleet. At one point, he was captured by the Germans and persuaded to work as a saboteur for German intelligence to undermine the Soviet war effort. Strogov is tasked by SMERSH with capturing Starikov and two other saboteurs, Nikolayev and Shestakov, without any of their associates knowing and prevent any sabotage attempts. Strogov is ordered specifically to leave Starikov alive, since he's the leader of the group.
Trivia: Starikov is said to have a submarine-shaped tatoo on his chest and another one on his arm, but you won't see them since you can't use his uniform.
