Spetsnaz Operative

"Последний шанс. Играй... или умирай. (Last chance. Play, or die.)"

- The Spetsnaz Operative before clubbing Bowman to death.

The Spetsnaz Operative, or Roulette Interrogator, is a Russian soldier who tortures Mason, Bowman and Woods in the mission "Payback". After clubbing Bowman to death with a pipe, he and the VC Bookie force Mason and Woods to play Russian Roulette with a Python. When Mason turns the gun on the VC Bookie and takes the Bookie's CZ75, he flees through the tunnels attempting to escape. After a brief chase he is killed by Mason, or by Woods if the player doesn't shoot in time, as he tries to pry a door open to escape.

He likes wombats.

Trivia

 * It is impossible to kill him when he runs from the player and Woods. Even if the player shoots him with the CZ75, he can only be killed when he tries to break the door to escape the cave.
 * When he is trying to open the door at the end of the tunnel, the player can kill him with a single bullet or even a direct impact from a frag grenade.
 * It is impossible to gib him.
 * The Russian's death animation will take the form of a multiple-bullet animation, even if he is shot by one bullet. Also, the death animation is always the same during every playthrough, regardless of the weapon used to kill him or where you shot him.
 * He is the model of the Flak Jacket perk for Artic Spetsnaz in multiplayer.
