Talk:Viktor Reznov

I think that Sgt.Reznov was born in stalingrad or maybe lived there a long time because he knows the city well. I estimate his age to be 50 years old at the year of april 1945.I believe the job he had before the war was as a police officer.I also think his first name is Viktor.Andrew nicholson 18:03, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, but pure speculation. Unless you have evidence to back it up, don't put it in the article. Cpl. Wilding 18:05, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

No WAY is Reznov 50 years old in 1945 the cutscene that you see him in is in the year 2010. Which would make him 105 years old. Let's let Treyarch tell us his age.

Date of Birth
you can tell random people like dancing jelly. on the 4th of july over 9000

Reznov in the SOG
I think that reznov could be in the SOG or he could hate the Soviet Union because something related to Chernov´s diary, Maybe one Soviet Union´s agent had killed Chernov or sent him to a gulag because of what he had written, or Reznov himself could had been sent to a gulag for his attempts of publishing it. (Asro94 19:31, June 17, 2010 (UTC)) Then again the Gulag was shelled an is rubble now so he couldent of bin there or hed be dead

I personally think it's related to the fact they somewhat based him off Imran Zakhaev who was leading one side on a civil war... -FrozenSolid

My theory is that Reznov's brother-in-arms Dimitri didn't survive his injuries or died later. After that, he grew tired of post-Stalin Russia and defected to the West. --Jpx400 00:22, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

Actually, after a mission to capture the original canisters of Nova 6 from an old shipwreck lead to Reznov being betrayed by Dragovich and Kravchenko, and Dmitri's death due to Nova Gas testing, Reznov grew a certain hatred for the Soviet Union. After blowing up the ship to ensure the canisters didn't get out, he was captured and sent to Vorkuta. There he, Alex Mason and the other prisoners organized a great escape. He died to ensure Mason's escape. Chernov had nothing to do with it. ForeignHedgehog 14:52, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

It seems that ForeignHedgehog is the only person who knows what he is talking about in this article. All of the above paragraph is correct, although it is not the Soviet Union that he hates, but those that would betray it. Dragovich and Kravchenko conspire with the Germans (Steiner), and for this he sees them as traitors to the Red Army and Russia herself. The events of the Nova 6 rediscovery occur after the 'publicised' end of WW2, around 1947/48, perhaps slightly later. What is evident however, is that Chernov has no bearing on the events of the Black OPS storyline, Imran Zakhaev is a character that exists later in the Call of Duty timeline-and finally-Viktor Veznov is in no way alligned with S.O.G forces82.34.109.103 19:17, September 14, 2011 (UTC)ChristopherCOD

Reznov-Zakhaev Relation?
I don't think Reznov was modeled after Imran Zakaahev. He seems to be modeled after Sgt. Kamarov, since they look the same (somewhat similar, anyway) and their voices are similar as well. Please confirm?" Montybrady 03:25, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm. Well, it's an interesting theory, I'll give you that much. Unfortunately, we've no evidence to back it up. Sgt. S.S. 13:54, January 23, 2010 (UTC) PS: It's spelled Z-A-K-H-A-E-V.

Return @ Black Ops
It has been confirmed he will return, and it's even possible to spot him in the trailer. I think it's the guy @ 0:18.

Wouldnt that mean he'd be like a billion years old?

No, he'd be about 40 or 50 at the most. Cpl. Wilding 16:02, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

He's only alive during Vorkuta. He never changed for 5 years(The time from Vorkuta to present time in Black Ops).

heres the real deal ok. reznov was captured by the nazis in russia and then it became vorkuta in black ops you get to rescue him he makes you kill dragovich steiner and kravchenko duh

Template
Someone added the template that he is a weapon in Black Ops. Maybe we can make a character template Darkraider09 11:25, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

He is the Enemy?!
If Reznov is included that means he is the enemy as the Russians are the enemies (I Think)

TheEnigma13 14:05, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

I read somewhere that Reznov is going to be an ally, so I'm trying to find that site so we can get a confirmation on his faction. LITE992 21:00, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

If he is gonna return as an ally, he'll probably be a loyalist. 195.93.21.67 15:30, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Except that, in context, that makes him the enemy. 15:32, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Furthermore, if Reznov is going to be an ally, and Russia is an enemy to the player, he likely would not have an afilliation with Russia. LITE992 12:38, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

I think we shall remove sentences like 'Reznov will return is the game CoD:BO' and replace them with 'A charcter based of Reznov' or 'A character who has the same appearance as Reznov' or something like that. As supposing Black Ops will be set around 1970s, when Vietnam war happened 30 years after WW2 (1940s). In WaW he looks around 50, so in BO he will be around 80. Also, in the trailer he doesnt look any older than he did in WaW. It's like Price from CoD2 and Price from modern warfares. Maybe we shall create another page, like we did with Price.

 * Reznov is confirmed to be in Black Ops. It's not speculation. Chief z 13:14, June 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * And on top of that, there were two Price's. One died on the Tirpitz in WWII, the other is now a wanted criminal in the year 2016. Richtofen.jpg Doc.   Richtofen  13:16, June 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Also we have no way of knowing how old Reznov is war ages people in a weird way. he could be any age as far as we know. And the Vietnam War ENDED in 1973 so he would at the oldest be seventy and i strongly believe that it is a possibility that he is in his mid-forties. either way it is CONFIRMED that he is in it. he actually looks around Prices age in WaW. I think and this is all speculation for conversations sake that he might have been a victim of Stalin's purges. the military was brutalized at that time. maybe war hero Dimitri was murdered and Reznov just managed to survive. or you might actually meet him in WMD like you rescue him or something since yoo're attacking a Soviet Base. Smitty15 20:53 June 20, 2010

Dimitri is dead
Yeah, he is. If Reznov returns then it must mean he'll mention Dimitri and I think he's dead. InFeCtEd32 http://callofduty.wikia.com/wikiUser:Infected32/User_Group 17:58, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

How, Dimitri will just cheat death again.AdvancedRookie 17:59, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

i think he might be a playable character

Lol what?AdvancedRookie 18:59, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Well,Reznov said "Mason, you fighting like old Dimitri..." Meaning Dimitri,Must of got shot, or finally tried to cheat death again,without the help of Chernov nor Reznov he failed,or maybe was K.I.A. after so,Perhaps he tripped and fell down the German building, Maybe after he got the flag to fly up top the parliment building,a sniper shot him, maybe a nother surivor killed him, There is a glitch,where if you do not kill every one german,a german gets trapped and shoots over and over until you kill him, Who knows? Maybe he'll be a General with Reznov,maybe he'll be a new generation of the Staff Sergeants? Who knows,We'll fine out hopefully Nov. 12, That may be when it ships to stores, This is Lt. Trayvin 11:24, June 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Is this really a serious comment? You said maybe at least five times, and none of the cases you mentioned make the slightest bit of sense when you consider this is, you know, a story we're talking about. Incrognito 17:53, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

I've got a feeling that Reznov has been promoted to General. General Reznov, just think 30 odd years later at least and he still serves in the military he has to be a General by now

When did he say that? Was it what he said in Russian? He didn't say anything like that in English.

dimitri must be an enemy russian now he did not betray the motherland wontbackdown 13:56, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Extreme longshot..... I doubt it myself AdvancedRookie 18:42, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

That actually looks extremely similar to Resnov. 18:44, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

I only based it on the fact I read somewhere that a Reznov esque character joins you at the end of Victor Charlie.AdvancedRookie 18:48, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Confirmed that it is indeed Reznov. If you listen carefully, he is addressed as Reznov and has the exact same voice as Reznov. YAY GARY OLDMAN!!!! Imrlybord7 00:41, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I know that if I saw a MW2 Trailer with only a glimpse of Ghost, and all I could get was a screenshot, I would think he was Gaz! Same voicer, similar jobs, and that balaclova does look like something that Gaz would wear beside his Union Jack hat. So, don't be to sure. I'm not deneying it, just watch out if your wrong. Who knows though. I hope he returns, and he makes someone be like Chernov. How I would love to hear him yell, "Mason, get on the truck! You have earned the ride! reznov said this in world at war to chernov "Dimitri you have earned a ride,chernov you have not

reznov as enemy??????????
iz it tru that he is an enemy in black-ops, but wouldn't it make sense that reznov is not able 2 fight in the war wouldn't he be in his 80's soory that was me lol im stupid James the halo master 16:28, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

hes fucking 52 he was born in 1913 wontbackdown 13:57, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

"As long as you're alive, the soul of this army cannot break"
everyone is saying dimitri died @ the end of world at war. this is not true he dies in black ops from the virus nova6. and reznov dies as soon as you jump on the train but it doesnt show that until the end of blackops. the only reason you see him when your playing as mason is because mason was brain washed. when you are in the rat tunnel you see reznov.you talk to reznov for a minute. the soildier in front of you says what the fuck is wrong with u. because all the soidier sees is u talking to no one. but u dont find out reznov is dead until the end.But,using the first letter of each desinate word at the begganing of each level, it spells'reznov is dead'.useing the numbers by converting them into letters spelles 'or is he.he is not who he says he is'.he might still be alive

Please sign your posts. And whilst many people have found that Easter Egg, the fact that you can knife and shoot through Reznov without Friendly Fire warnings, that would be what I base my 'he is dead' opinion offf of. TheKingofPies 06:48, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

what about Dimitri petrentrko
i think that he could be in black ops our good russian friend said he is UN-KILLABLE he could be captured or something and reznov wants him back so they can kick butt again.

James the halo master 16:32, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Unlikely. Cpl. Wilding 16:45, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

No, I've reviewed WaW's ending several times and judging by where I think he was shot (Near the heart or perhaps in the Sternum) and judging by that, he's dead after the end. If he's alive he's retired. Stabbed in the heart was originally referenced to the original ending where the german stabbed Dimitri. Infected32 23:26, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Did Reznov die during the game?
I noticed while crawling through the caves, Reznov was stabbed by a Viet Cong. Did he die or live?

Nevermind, I rewatched it. It was a different person that got stabbed. Blues Operator 03:10, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Why does the page say he's in SOG?
It isn't confirmed he's in SOG, and that he is assisting the SOG guys in the missino we have seen him in doesn't confirm he is a member, he could be assisting them as a defected Soviet spy as the SOG are confirmed to be in South-East Asia to monitor Soviet activity. Personally I don't think the page should say he's in SOG, because we don't know if he is.

never heard it.
I have never heard reznov say" You fight like old Dimitri" in the video always try tho lol help. SOG TOUGHBRAVO SIX 08:28, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

he actually said to mason "you fight like a child" in vorkuta when they where fake fighting

Chernov alive
====I noticed that Chernov never really died. He is last seen on the ground in horrible pain and even after he stops moaning his mouth is still moving. I don't understand Chernov's death. If he really does die.====

It is implied that he did die and a possible reason for Chernov still talking would be a developer oversight and/or a engine error. Also please sign your posts with four tildes (~ ~ ~ ~) CJB95 23:45, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

Reznov in the Defector
I think that this is no doubt Reznov. He does seem a little older and looks like he is wearing a Red Army officer's outfit so this still of Reznov could have been taken from The Defector

He may not be dead. At the end of Vorkuta you see him crash into and flip a truck. But like Woods you don't see him physically killed. Just a possibility. ..... no he did not flip his truck.that was one of the prisons guards

"Wolf"
On the computer in the main menu there are some files called wolf and wolfinchains, which show pictures of Reznov. I'm guessing Wolf is either a codename or a nickname.

Wolfinchains. I guess they are pictures of Reznov in Vorkuta then.GibbedGuy 08:31, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

the wolf is his nickname.

Reznov and Mason
Due to the last level showing Reznov kill Steiner and then mason killing Steiner with the same clothes, can it be inferred that throughout the campaign Mason and Reznov are wearing the same thing? CJB95 00:15, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

Did I just find a plot hole or what?
In Black Ops while Hudson is interviewing Mason he first tells him that Reznov died during the escape from vorkuda. Then later on he tells him that Reznov came back for him in Vietnam. What gives? Reznov alive? I won't believe they have killed him off until I see a body.

Reznov had died at Vorcuta, Mason was just imaging that Reznov was still alive. -MerchantofDeath 05:07, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

actually reznovs wherabouts is unkown they didint see the body.

Yeah, Mason went crazy during the times he was in Vorkuta. - The Asian Gangsta' 11:59am, November 13, 2010

he was brainwashed by steiner to obey dragovichs plans,, but reznov replaced that command to KILL Dragovich,Kravchenko,and Steiner,and that he was still alive.

"Interviewing" ain't a good word man. It should be "integorrating"(did i spell that right :O).

Mason didn't go crazy, he just got sabotaged in the mind by Dragonich and his gang, but Hudson said that "Reznov has plans for his own", so there is a chance that Reznov also sabotaged Mason's mind to believe that he was alive years later, so that he can "help" Mason to kill the ALL-MUST-DIE-PEEPS and possibly morale him in his mind.GibbedGuy 08:30, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

I'd say Hudson/Weaver decided to just play along with Mason at that point, possibly to get more info out of him. Sgt. S.S. 21:17, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

Viktor's 'Death Theme'
Anyone else note a certain desperate-sounding piano tune that plays at the end of Vorkuta? It's distinguishing in my mind in that it never is heard before or again (except faintly in the cutscene following the end of the mission, and, if it can be counted, a very distorted version of it near the end of the second-to-last level), and compared to all the music in the game, it's actually very odd in and of itself in terms of how much it contrasts with the rest of the music in the game. When you put together the points made about the roadblock and the truck flipping over (though this is not always the case, I noticed on a couple run-throughs that it doesn't always flip over), I've come to the conclusion that this theme is literally meant as a sort of send-off to Viktor, rather than just a song to end the level with, and I think it should be mentioned in the article about Reznov.

On a slightly related note, I actually would like to hear the full version of it, as I think it somewhat warrants exposure. It's 'That one weird song' in the game, and I actively play Vorkuta pretty often just because I like it. -Mr. Jyat 07:46, November 15, 2010 (UTC)

I love that song. It really adds to the loss of a beloved old character and the tune itself is based off of a Russian ballet tune. 09:04, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

I too would like to hear the whole song but I can't seem to find any links or any links to it anywhere on the internet. This forum is the ony place the tune even seems to have it's existance aknowledged. - luc122c - 23:15 29/08/2011 (GMT)

Reznov's signature machete
I was very surprised that he never used it in Black Ops, I always remember him slashing up the german soldier at the end of World at War. I wonder why Treyarch didn't think about him using it again? ?Whipsnap? 20:55, November 18, 2010 (UTC)

99.236.125.97 03:08, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

Also during the cutscene during Numbers, it shows Classifed Documents showing Reznov as part of the SOG. Alive and well. The same happens in Rebirth it shows Reznov is a huminity defector. Also weaver asks "Wheres the defector, Reznov"?, giving a indication that Reznov was autcally a defector.

The only thing that cuts down this theory is the scene of Mason imaging he is Viktor Reznov, maybe Reznov was hiding?(Jokes) 99.244.53.100 03:32, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

He doesnt die in a crash!
At the end of vorkuta look closely he is in a greeny coloured van with an MG on the back he crashes into a guard van and rams it into the roadblock he is shot by the police because after that in the cutscene before USDD it shows reznov and lots of communist logos which mean police coverging (moving towards) him.

yah he gets shot 20:08, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

John grant
I think Reznov is John grant because John grant warns John F.Kennedy on e-mail message and there reads:Victory cannot be achieved without sacrifice. Reznov says that during the Vorkutas prison break

Reznov got the quote from him, but I see your point.

-Epico

Hudson claims Reznov died in Vorkuta, but is this true? Part of the 'Secret Code Intel' thing says, "Reznov is dead. Or is he dead? There was no body found". So was he killed? Or did he escape? Tell your speculation on the subject - we'll probably have to wait until COD 8 :(

Nobody knows. And not to be rude but do you read? There are about 10 disscussions like this. Sniper team  82308  18:57, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

He is probably dead. The guards probably figured out he formulated the plan, and shot him out of anger. Or maybe they just flat out killed him. And also please read what Sniperteam wrote. Every Reznov fan who doesn't want him to die writes about this shit. 09:00, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Well, it will be logic that Soviets kept intel from the US, so he was presumably alive Spaceblast

I think they could take him to even more cruel camp than Vorkuta in order to get revenge. Who knows? Xeoxer 11:46, February 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * I doubt there's such a thing "more cruel". Considering that he led an insurrection of the country's most wanted criminals, took out a regiment of Soviet troops and flipped the middle finger to Dragovich in a grand way, they probably would've killed him on the spot. --Scottie theNerd 20:46, February 9, 2011 (UTC)

Maybe change the picture
Cuurent image showing reznov at rebirth island was just in Mason's hallucination, we thinkit should be image from Vorkuta, because that was the last "real" saw of him in the game.Xeoxer 11:45, February 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Valid point, but regardless it is an image of Reznov. --Scottie theNerd 20:47, February 9, 2011 (UTC)

Friends? SPOILER
So wait since Reznov used Mason to get revenge on Dragovich Kravencho and Steiner did he ever really care about Mason? Were they ever really friends or did Reznov just use him? MAViRICK 19:56, March 2, 2011

(UTC)Yes i think that Mason it just a tool that reznov used to get revenge and manipulated him while breaking out of vorkuta (we are brothers mason, with my life etc) Xeoxer 08:44, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

I agree with the statement above mine, as Reznov tampered with the brainwashing process. HOWEVER, Reznov saved Mason during the final push on Vorkuta, and risked his life to save him during the Train Escape. TheKingofPies 06:53, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

False quote!
I know it would be spoiler if we write that Mason said this, but it's not true that this is Reznov's quote! Maybe choose something else as a main quote? Xeoxer 08:40, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

REZNOV ALIVE!!!!!URAA!!!!
reznov isnt death,that impossible!!!!!!!i now reznov,his love for petrenko,that his father is death everyting,DONT LET HIM DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!reznov,this is for you:the germans of the mudak amsel will be killed in reznov bare sight,reznov will rise,a killing machine like him will never die,IT WILL NOT DIE,ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!REZNOV ALIVE,URAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think he's alive as well. If u read the 'maverick code' and hudsons emails u find out that he's going under the alias of John Trent. Reznov is alive and we'll be seeing him again. Ura!!!!!!!!

Or someone's leading us on. Nothing is proven, everything is speculation. 17:49, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

And since he died in Vorkuta, he died. TheKingofPies 06:51, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

That's news to me.

Ah. Well, I couldn't really mark a spoiler so yah... TheKingofPies 06:51, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

The quote
I don't think this should be the quote as Reznov himself does actually say it (as Mason thinks he says it).
 * Who says it is irrelevant. It's a topic-related quote. --Scottie theNerd 07:02, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Zombies reference?
VR-11 could a reference to Viktor Reznov. Probably. Maybe. I think. Does anyone know anything of 11 that has something to do with him?86.45.71.14 20:49, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

It's Twenty-Eleven. :D

How Can Other People See Reznov When He Was Dead?
If Reznov died, and all the times Reznov was with Mason was a memory, how come Woods could see him? Common sense, hence he died in Vorkuta.

- Epico

Woods didn't see Reznov. Nobody apart from Mason did. There are several pieces of evidence to support this:


 * 1) In Hue City, when Reznov introduced himself to Woods and Bowman, Woods just asked Mason if he got the intel, not acknowledging that Reznov "spoke" to him at all.
 * 2) In Victor Charlie, after Mason meets Reznov in the rat tunnels after firing at him, Swift says, "What the fuck's wrong with you?" This is because Mason actually shot at thin air.
 * 3) In Crash Site, when Reznov says, "Kravchenko, he must die", Woods and Bowman look at Mason, because it was really Mason talking (Bowman also says, "Okay, Mason, let's go").
 * 4) Finally, in Payback, when Mason talks to Reznov in Kravchenko's compound, Woods says, "Mason! What the fuck are you doing?!" This is likely because Mason was seemingly talking to himself.

Hope this helps. Sgt. S.S. 20:18, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Antagonist?
Would he be the antagonist in theory? I mean, he brainwashed Mason into killing Dragovich, Kravchenko, and Steiner.
 * Well, Steiner was the person who first brainwashed Mason, under orders from Dragovich, programming him to kill JFK. But then Reznov sabotaged Mason into killing D, K and S instead. So, in a way, Reznov did a good thing by brainwashing Mason, because Mason ended up killing Dragovich, Kravchenko, and Steiner (who all deserved to die, IMO), rather than JFK, one of the "good guys".

He is missing his finger.
Mind Game and Legacy

"When playing these levels, it is clear that Reznov is part of Mason's imagination since his right index finger, (which he lost in Call of Duty: World at War) is still there."

I feel this to be wrong, at least on the Xbox version of this game Reznov appearers to be missing his right index finger. Making the statement false, this can be noted when he hands Mason the documents as the defector as well as helps him release the stuck Helicopter door. I have taken pictures that will soon be uploaded if any one wishes to see.

Rezonv is still alive...

Quote
There should be a different quote, Reznov never says that. Mason thinks Reznov does, but it's actually Mason who says it. 99.255.5.108 13:22, August 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * As I've said above several times: does it really matter who says it? It's an appropriate quote about the subject. It doesn't have to come from the subject itself. --Scottie theNerd 13:50, August 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * But Reznov doesn't say it and it says that Reznov said it, even though he didn't. 99.255.5.108 13:53, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Russian spelling
>Captain Viktor Reznov (Russian: Виктор Рэзнов)

It's not "Рэзнов", it's "Резнов", even if it's not pronounced this way. Russian language is just this silly. Proof: Ru wiki 109.105.165.106 10:02, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, as a matter of factor, no Russian would pronounce his name as "Рэзнов" (the only exception would be if you'd spent your entire life in the Caucasus mountains' region). Therefore, it's spelled and pronounced as "Резнов". Proof: myself being Russian. --Nuttex 23:32, November 12, 2011 (UTC)

Deceased vs KIA
What's really the difference between deceased and KIA? Deceased is only for killed civilians and other non-government and non-military people and KIA is just for soldiers, right? But Reznov was a soldier... imprisoned and possibly degraded, but well Xeoxer 20:52, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

Call of Duty: Black Ops - Reznov is alive
So after many thoughts that Reznov is dead I decided to make an investigation on the terminal. Here's what I found.


 * 1) It is currently unknown but speculated by some fans that Reznov is currently going under the alias of John Trent, the mysterious person emailing Hudson about JFK's assassination and about Mason. This theory is supported as in the last email sent by him he tells Hudson to "Tell Mason that this time it's freedom for both of us.", which coincides with what Reznov told Mason during the Vorkuta escape.
 * 2) This is also supported by email 5 on Hudson's login, titled "A single step". In the beginning of the Vorkuta escape, Reznov says "Every journey begins with a single step. This, is step one!"
 * 3) In one of the messages, John Trent says "Start in Vorkuta. 2 escaped the massacre. You know one, the other one just died." If Reznov is John Trent, this could mean Reznov faked his death, and due to safety measures, that is why he has undergone the alias of John Trent.
 * 4) If John Trent is indeed Reznov, then the last part of the Maverick Code 'He is not who he says he is" could mean that John Trent is simply an alias, implying that he is in fact Reznov.

VERY IMPORTANT: On the second e-mail message, Reznov wanted to make Hudson think that Mason's jail mate during Vorkuta escape died. If he knew that he was still alive he'd hunt him down.

Change Reznov's Status
We never actually see Viktor Reznov die in our very eyes, we are only told by Jason Hudson that Viktor Reznov died. I propose that we change Viktor Reznov's status from K.I.A to M.I.A as he is never actually shown to have died. We have seen his death certificate but it may very well be fake just like Mason's dossier and his passport in order to get to Rebirth Island. Unless there is a scene where Viktor Reznov is shown to die, I believe his status should be changed.

I wish if Viktor Reznov would go to the future where Makarov is now, he should be with Task Force 141. Yeah! That'll do the trick!
