Compare his facial features.

They are nearly identical.

He's also bald, and there's no way Treyarch could have made it anymore obvious that it IS Zakhaev (who wears the exact same clothing for 40 years?).

Sadly, it seems like it wasn't obvious ENOUGH.

Next time, they should have a biiiig logo right above him saying "RECURRING CHARACTER".
