Best russian character ever

[lorigar1945]

Hey there escapists, this idea just came to me,so,who would you guys think is the best russian character in a game,movie,or anything else, and why. My vote goes to Viktor Reznov from Call of duty 5 and black ops.why, he is an inspirational character with his speeches to other soldiers, A great friend to Alex Mason and Dimitri Petrenko, And he WEARS communism, from his coat and shapka hat in WAW, to his red army jacket in black ops. So, tell me friends, who is the best russian character?

Roman Bellic

...is from the Balkans (non-specific) not Russia.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

No such thing!!!!!

 

[SkyKitty]

Father Grigori.

Nuff said.

Possibly one of the people turned psychopath in STALKER. There's Guide, who moves through the zone like some sort of wind, able to sneak past anomalies and enemies with ease. Doc has the power to heal anyone and anything, living or dead, but can't even differentiate humans from mutants. He leaves a trail of life everywhere he goes. Or, Strelok, the enigmatic one who lead the first group to the center of the zone.

Vladmir Putin, because the country of Kyrgyzstan named a mountain after him.

Boris The Blade aka Boris The Bullet Dodger called so because he dodges fucking bullets.

All of the Cobra Unit from MGS3. Especially The End and The Fury. Sadly, I beat The End accidentally by leaving the game for a week or two.
Those boss fights were all really creative, and I give special mention to The Sorrow, who didn't even really have a "fight", just showing how many innocent men you killed along the way (by that I mean the faceless/ nameless Russian grunts).

Crazy Ivan from Red Alert 2.

mispost forget it ever happened

The narrator from Borderlands that I can't quite remember the name of right now. His narrations are fantastic.

 

[OldAccount]

Reznov was in World at War? Great now I have to replay both those games to see the connection.

On topic: I'm trying to think of a Russian character that wasn't a bad guy...I'll get back to you on that...

 

[Technicolor]

Excluding the entire COBRA Unit from Metal Gear Solid 3, I would have to go with Revolver Ocelot.

The guy starts out as a common "Mother Russia" stereotype, only to reveal it to be a lie and single handedly outfoxed the entire world with his ridiculous amount of scheming. Twice.

 

[Tiger Sora]

Vassili Zaitsev hero of the Soviet Union. A real person but had a hollywood movie done about him "Enemy at the Gates" (Not accurate obviously) Sniping Nazi's for the Motherland what more is needed.

 

[King of the Sandbox]

Any answer other than Zangief IS WRONG.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Everyone from Stalker. Badasses to a Tee

The narrator from Borderlands that I can't quite remember the name of right now. His narrations are fantastic.

That would be Marcus Kincaid. If it took more than one shot, you weren't using a Jakobs!

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Any answer other than Zangief IS WRONG.

If only for this.

No heavy weapons guy yet? Posters are not kredit to team

Bourbon, from Metro 2033
