Major Dimitri Ivanovich Belikov (Russian: Дмитрий Иванович Беликов) is an agent working for the CIA and as the Security Officer for the KGB, as a mole to them. He is a playable character and protagonist featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Belikov is also mentioned in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Biography[]
Dimitri was a soldier and special operative who rose through the ranks of the Soviet military forces until he joined the KGB as an intelligence officer. He first started working for CIA in late 1967, when he came in contact with Jason Hudson in a meeting that would change his whole political worldview and switch his national allegiance while serving as a military expert during the Vietnam War. In one of the many covert operations participated in his career, he was helping train NVA Air force pilots in flying Soviet-made helicopters at the time. At some point, he told Woods and Adler that "The Rook" safehouse in Bulgaria, which they had found to previously have a KGB presence, was off the books and unknown even to him.

- — Belikov to Woods
Belikov brought Alex Mason and Frank Woods on board a Mi-24 Hind helicopter to a Russian facility that Hudson took out years prior. Before allowing Woods and Mason to set off on their mission, Belikov commented about what the KGB does to double agents to which Woods gives him an American sports team's baseball cap that he wanted. Belikov would later arrive in the same helicopter to help Mason and Woods extract the mainframe containing the profiles of Nikita Dragovich's sleeper agents.
KGB Mole Investigation[]
- "I'm sorry, I thought this was the Singapore Embassy."
- — Adler to Belikov
Belikov is called by Russell Adler in his office to ask for access into the Lubyanka Building and the bunker under the building which contains archived information including the profiles of Dragovich's agents. Belikov is then summoned to a conference room where a meeting is being held about the mole investigation. After shutting down the cameras from the security room, Belikov acquires the bunker keycard from one of the following options:
- Option 1
- Option 2
- Option 3
- Option 4
- Option 5
Belikov decides to arrange a meeting with Charkov in his office. Prior to the meeting, Belikov steals a vial of Nova 6 from Kravchenko's and meets with Charkov. After poisoning and ensuring that Charkov drinks the fatal tea, the meeting proceeded until Charkov dies from Nova 6 - allowing Belikov to take the keycard.
After learning from Kravchenko about additional unauthorized communications from the mole, Belikov decides to frame Charkov. Belikov remaps the unauthorized communications from himself to Charkov in the server room and prints out the false report. Belikov hands it to Kravchenko, who was surprised and believes the report before confronting Charkov about being the mole. After Kravchenko forces Charkov to empty everything he has onto the counter, including the keycard, and having him go into another room, Belikov steals the keycard.
Belikov goes to the interrogation room and tries to convince Piotr Ivanov to cooperate, but the prisoner refuses. Belikov then goes into the Records room and founds Ivanov's file regarding his family. Using that as leverage, Belikov returns to Ivanov and convinces him to kill Charkov. After loosening Ivanov's handcuffs, Belikov waits outside while Charkov, who just arrived, heads into the interrogation room. Shortly after, Ivanov fights Charkov and then he uses a pencil to stab the latter at his neck - killing him. Belikov then steals Charkov's keycard from his corpse.
Belikov decides to create his own keycard with full access to the bunker. Before heading into the armory, Belikov either steals the paperwork for access, obtains a cigar to bribe the guard, or he discreetly kills the guard watching the armory. Either way, Belikov takes a blank keycard from the armory and goes into the Data Entry room to reprogram Charkov's keycard to his own for access to the bunker.
Belikov discreetly heads into Charkov's office and he either kills or pickpockets Charkov to steal his keycard before leaving undetected.
Additionally, if Lukas Richter was rescued from East Berlin, Belikov can take him out before rendezvousing with Adler and "Bell". After he gives the keycard and helps Adler and "Bell" go through the security checkpoint, Belikov is later ousted as the mole and held at gunpoint within the bunker as a way of getting Adler and "Bell" to surrender. "Bell" proceeds to save Belikov and the trio make it back towards the elevator. While in heavy combat gear, Belikov and the others fight their way out of the building and towards Lazar in the truck after facing the final guards left attempting to stop them.
