===Early History===

{{quote|My father was a musician in Stalingrad. During the German occupation, the sound of his violin filled the air with magnificent music – Korsakov, Stasov – many of the great nationalist composers. To my countrymen, it was a symbol of hope. To the Germans, it was a symbol of defiance. Even now, his music still haunts me. The Nazis slit his throat while he slept. Collaborating with any Nazi is a betrayal, a betrayal against all of Mother Russia. Dragovich and Kravchenko were not troubled by such matters. They looked only to advance towards their own interests and agendas...|Reznov explaining his father's death and [[Nikita Dragovich|Dragovich]].}}[[File:Reznov Father BO.ogg|noicon|center]]
   
  +
Viktor Reznov was born on April 20, 1913 in Saint Petersburg, Russia (renamed Petrograd in 1914 and Leningrad ten years later), and joined the [[Red Army]] sometime before the start of World War II. According to Reznov, his father was a musician, who, during the [[Battle of Stalingrad|Siege of Stalingrad]], played music by patriotic composers with his violin. His music was a symbol of hope for his fellow countrymen, but a symbol of defiance to the Germans, and Viktor never forgot the sound of his music even years later. His father had his throat slit by a German while he slept, one of the many reasons Viktor hated the German soldiers.

The arrogance of their leaders is matched only by the brutality of their soldiers. These are the darkest days of the Nazi occupation of Stalingrad.|Reznov explaining the Nazis' push into [[Stalingrad]].}}
{{Цитата|Попомни мои слова, товарищ, когда-нибудь всё изменится! Бои будут вестись на '''их''' земле, страдать будет '''их''' народ, литься будет '''их''' кровь!|Резнов говорит [[Дмитрий Петренко|Дмитрию]] перед убийством [[Генрих Амсель|генерала Амселя]]}}
 
  +
He is first seen in the mission "[[Vendetta]]", as a sniper trying to assassinate the German general [[Heinrich Amsel]], the "Architect of Stalingrad's misery". As one of the only two survivors of a brutal German massacre near a fountain, he is saved from being executed by feigning death. It is here that he and [[Dimitri Petrenko]] first meet each other, with Reznov explaining his situation to Dimitri. Reznov, who can no longer snipe precisely as a marksman due to his injured hand and blown off trigger finger, gives Petrenko his [[Mosin-Nagant|scoped Mosin-Nagant]] rifle, and asks him to eliminate the general. Reznov guides Dimitri on killing a few German soldiers as German bombers fly overhead, to shroud out the noise of the gunshots. He leads him through Stalingrad, dueling against a German sniper, and then dispatching a whole German platoon with multiple soldiers equipped with [[M2 Flamethrower|flamethrowers]].
Впервые он появляется в миссии [[Вендетта]] как снайпер, пытающийся убить немецкого генерала [[Генрих Амсель|Генриха Амселя]], "архитектора страданий Сталинграда". Немцы устраивают резню около фонтана Сталинграда, беспощадно расстреливая всех раненных советских солдат. Резнов и [[Дмитрий Петренко|Петренко]] чудом остаются в живых (немцы не замечают, что они ещё живы, и уходят).
 
[[Файл:Reznov3.png|Виктор в [[Сталинград]]е.|200px|left|thumb]]
+
[[File:Reznov3.png|thumb|300px|Reznov in [[Stalingrad]].]]
С холодным расчётом Резнов зовёт Петренко к себе и обещает позже отомстить за них, но пока нужно выбираться. Сержант объясняет, что уже давно охотится на их генерала, но из-за травмированной руки больше не может стрелять из снайперской винтовки, поэтому он даёт Петренко свою [[Винтовка Мосина|винтовку]] и просит, чтобы игрок устранил генерала. Прячась у разрушенного фонтана, им удаётся взять на мушку Амселя, который приезжал посмотреть как идут дела, но момент для его убийства был неудачным (при выстреле они бы выдали свою позицию и выжить тогда шансов бы не было). Резнов координирует действия Петренко, чтобы тот тихо убивал немецких солдат, пока гул их бомбардировщиков заглушает звуки выстрелов. Но к этому моменту Амсель уходит с поля зрения, и расстрелять удаётся только немецких часовых.
 
   
  +
Then, they are saved by Petrenko's squad led by [[Daletski]], and continue with them on an assault against a German communication post. After fierce fighting, Petrenko kills Amsel, which gives Reznov a hearty chuckle. They are soon attacked by German Panzers and soldiers. Reznov holds off numerous German soldiers before he jumps in a canal, with Dimitri soon following him. It is important to note that due to Reznov's injured finger he could not fire his rifle with perfect aim, and thus, his "character class" was changed to Submachine Gunner as he wields a [[PPSh-41]] from then on. He is seen without his finger three years later.
После этого они убегают в полуразрушенный амбар, где Резнов рассказывает о своих воспоминаниях касаемо этого места и обещает, что скоро всё изменится и страдать будут немцы на своей земле, а не советские люди. Их замечает умелый [[Третий Рейх|немецкий]] снайпер, но бойцам чудом удаётся избежать его огня. Совместными усилиями Резнов, привлекающий внимание снайпера, чтобы тот выдал себя, и Петренко, стреляющий из снайперской винтовки, убивает его, но через некоторое время их замечает патруль немецких солдат с поисковыми собаками. Тогда они прорываются через горящее здание, отбиваясь от атак немцев, которые открывают стрельбу по зданию и поджигают его огнемётами. Здание начинает рушиться, они бегут на второй этаж, который ещё не успело полностью охватить пламя. По дороге на Петренко падает горящая балка и придавливает его, но Резнов не бросает своего товарища и вытаскивает его. На кухне начинается утечка газа и они едва успевают выпрыгнуть из взорвавшегося здания, упав с довольно большой высоты. На земле их ловят немцы и уже собираются сжечь их из огнемёта, однако удача снова сопутствует героям: их спасает пришедший на помощь советский отряд, в котором находится бывший командир Петренко — [[Далетский]].

===Battle of Berlin===
  +
{{quote|Our grip tightens around the black heart of Berlin. The Führer demands all to shed their last drop of blood in it's defense. The old, the young, the weak. If they stand for Germany, they die for Germany. Building by building. Room by room. One rat at a time.|Reznov to his troops, as they move farther into Berlin.}}
  +
Three years later, on April 18, 1945 in Seelow Heights, [[Nazi Germany|Germany]], Soviet troops are pushing towards [[Berlin]]. Sergeant Reznov along with a new recruit [[Chernov]] comes to rescue the captured Dimitri Petrenko from three German soldiers. Reznov often tells the other soldiers to follow Dimitri as an example, especially to Chernov, who seems to be shocked by the vengeful violence of his comrades against [[German Military|Wehrmacht]] soldiers. For example, in the level "[[Their Land, Their Blood]]", when a [[T-34]] blows a hole in the house where Petrenko was, Reznov and his men kill a few German soldiers. The remaining German soldiers were extremely wounded and bleeding to death. Reznov hands Petrenko a Mosin-Nagant, and tells Petrenko to kill the dying German soldiers even though they are bleeding to death already. Then the player has the option to kill the wounded, or to leave. Two scenarios like this occur during the Soviet campaign. In the opening cutscene of the mission "[[Downfall (campaign)|Downfall]]," Reznov will read a passage from Chernov's diary. If the player kills the Germans at both sites, the passage will describe Dimitri as a monster; If the enemies are killed in one of the two sites, Chernov will be conflicted as to Petrenko's morality; and sparing them all will earn his admiration.
   
  +
In the mission "[[Heart of the Reich]]", near the [[Reichstag]], Reznov chastises Chernov for writing in his diary, stating that "no one will ever read this", upon after which he orders Chernov to at least prove[[File:CoDWaW Vol II.jpg|thumb|270px|Reznov and [[Chernov]] in Berlin.]] he can die for his country if he cannot kill for it, giving him the Russian flag that must be planted on the top of the Reichstag. When the Russian troops reached the final steps outside the Reichstag, Chernov was fatally wounded by a flamethrower and lay dying. Reznov takes Chernov's diary and states that "someone should read this," contrary to what he had said earlier. Another soldier carries the flag to the top of the roof but is killed before being able to plant it. Reznov then asks Petrenko to take the flag and plant it. When Petrenko gets shot almost fatally with a [[Walther P38|P-38]] by a surviving [[Waffen-SS|SS trooper]], Reznov jumps in and slices the unfortunate German twice in the torso and impales him in the back. After that, he helps Petrenko up, and tells Petrenko that he can make it, and that he always survives. He then cuts the rope holding the Nazi flag and tells Petrenko to plant the Soviet flag. He expects the two of them to return to their home as "heroes". Reznov mentions many times that the heart of the army cannot be broken as long as Dimitri lives.
Объединившись с ним, они атакуют немецкий связной пост и успешно захватывают его. На захваченное здание начинают стягиваться немецкие силы, отряд Далетского пытается отбиться от их атаки, а Резнов и Петренко идут на огневую точку неподалеку, чтобы поймать оттуда на мушку немецкого генерала Генриха Амселя. Чтобы не выдать свою позицию и завершить начатое, им приходится безучастно смотреть на гибель всего отряда Далетского. Но их жертва не напрасна: Амсель всё-таки показывается и Петренко удаётся его застрелить из снайперской винтовки.

  +
Six months after the Battle of Berlin, Reznov was promoted to the rank of Captain. Reznov continued to serve in the [[3rd Shock Army]] alongside [[Dimitri Petrenko]] under the orders of [[Lev Kravchenko|Kravchenko]] and [[Nikita Dragovich|Dragovich]], despite maintaining animosity with Dragovich for his failure to assist during Stalingrad. Reznov was incorporated with Petrenko in the Unit 45 and they deployed to [[Project Nova|Arctic Circle]] to capture the Nazi scientist [[Friedrich Steiner|Steiner]], the mastermind behind [[Nova-6]], a nerve toxin ordered in secret by Hitler to combat the imminent [[Allied Powers|Allied]] victory. The Russians swept through the remaining SS troops and made contact with Steiner, who was expecting Dragovich. Reznov and Petrenko lead the way into the hold of the frozen vessel, discovering that the Germans were planning on using long-range [[V2 Rocket]]s to send Nova-6 to Allied cities. The group finds and secures Nova-6, but Dragovich orders his troops to restrain Reznov and his soldiers to see the effects of Nova-6 himself. Reznov witnesses Petrenko's[[File:Oldwolf.pic.png|right|thumb|Reznov in his cell.]] horrific death when he and his comrades are gassed. Reznov escapes the same fate by the timely arrival of British commandos also seeking to capture or destroy the secret Nazi nerve toxin. He then decides that the weapon is too powerful for either side to wield. Reznov leads his small group of soldiers out of the vessel, killing both British and Russian soldiers in their escape. He manages to arm explosives to sink the ship under the ice, hoping to prevent anyone from using the toxin ever again.
Сразу же после этого они подвергаются атаке немецкой пехоты и бронетехники, которые заметили откуда произошёл выстрел. Резнов удерживает многочисленных немецких солдат, прикрывая отступление Дмитрия, который прыгает в воду, а следом Резнов так же совершает прыжок туда и, уйдя под воду, они скрываются от немецкой армии. Последнее, что видит Петренко — плавущую шапку Рензова. На этом игровой эпизод заканчивается. Следующий игровой эпизод с участием Резнова проходит уже три года спустя. Мы видим Резнова живым и здоровым, уже без фаланги указательного пальца. Из за своей травмы руки он больше не может быть снайпером и с этих пор до конца игры использует [[ППШ-41]].

Reznov was presumably captured and sent to a prison camp in [[Vorkuta (prison)|Vorkuta]], and had been there for the past 18 years. There, he became a companion to an American prisoner, [[Alex Mason]], gaining his trust and protecting him during their time in the gulag. Because of this bond, Reznov was able to exploit Mason's resistance to Steiner and Dragovich's attempt to brainwash him by overriding their original mission with his own personal agenda: killing Dragovich, Kravchenko, and Steiner.
Три года спустя, советские войска наступают на Берлин. Сержант Резнов наряду с новичком, рядовым [[Чернов]]ым спасают Петренко, которого захватили 3 немецких солдата и уже собирались расправиться с ним. Резнов часто говорит другим солдатам брать пример с Дмитрия, особенно Чернову, который, кажется, потрясен мстительной жестокостью его товарищей по отношению к солдатам Вермахта. Злодеяния, которые Резнов и Петренко видели в Сталинграде, заставили их не испытывать жалости к немцам.
 
   
  +
Reznov masterminds a [[Vorkuta (level)|massive uprising in Vorkuta's prison camp]]. He and Mason engaged in a mock fist fight to draw the guards' attention. Once Mason eliminated the guard and seized the keys, Reznov led the prisoners to the surface. The Russian prisoners expressed doubt over Mason's trustworthiness, but Reznov convinced them by explaining how they were both "soldiers without an army" and betrayed by their leaders. Reznov continued to lead the insurrection, securing a [[Death Machine|secret weapon]] for Mason to blow their way out. He pulled Mason out of a tear gas barrage and the two escaped on motorcycles. Mason managed to escape by leaping onto a train, however Reznov stayed behind. He had sacrificed himself to free Mason, stating that Mason deserved the freedom knowing he would carry on to go after Dragovich. When Mason told Reznov to jump onto the train to freedom, Reznov exclaimed, "For you, Mason. Not for me." He drove the truck to lure the pursuing soldiers away from Mason and leaving his fate unknown.

{{quote|Mason! You did it Mason! You did, what I could not!|Reznov speaking for the last time to Mason.}}
Во время штурма Берлина, около Рейхстага, он приказывает Чернову доказать, что тот готов умереть ради своей страны, если он не может убить за неё, давая ему советский флаг, который должен быть установлен на вершине Рейхстага. Чернов берет флаг и мчится к Рейхстагу, но подвергается атаке немецкого огнемётчика и падает, корчась от ожогов. Резнов тут-же убивает этого немца. Он берет дневник Чернова и заявляет: ''"Кто-нибудь… помолитесь за него"''. [[Арсений|Другой солдат]] пытается поднять флаг, но его тоже убивают немецкие солдаты. Тогда Резнов просит Петренко взять флаг и установить его. По оставшейся до немецкого знамени части здания наносят ракетный удар, прочищая дорогу Петренко.

Years later during the [[Vietnam War]], the [[Studies and Observation Group|SOG]] was dispatched to Hue City to meet up with a [[Defector|Russian defector]] carrying an important dossier on [[Nova-6]]. To [[Mason]]'s surprise, the defector turned out to be Reznov. Reznov gave Mason the dossier and revealed that [[Dragovich]] and [[Lev Kravchenko|Kravchenko]] are nearby. Reznov fought alongside Mason, but went missing during [[Victor Charlie|the American incursion into Laos]]. He reappeared after Mason's helicopter crashes, stating that [[Frank Woods|Woods]] was a good man and that Mason had chosen his friends well. He met up with Mason again inside the [[Viet Cong]] tunnels. At this point, [[Swift]] turned around and asked what was wrong with Mason, seemingly oblivious to his contact with Reznov. 
   
  +
After Kravchenko's presumed death, Reznov accompanied Mason in his unauthorized assault on [[Rebirth Island]]. The two of them fought their way to [[Friedrich Steiner|Steiner]], and Reznov proceeded to execute him with a pistol. Mason insisted that it was Reznov who killed Steiner. However, the real events were witnessed by [[Jason Hudson|Hudson]] and [[Grigori Weaver|Weaver]], who saw Mason executing Steiner with a pistol while proclaiming himself to be Viktor Reznov.
{{Цитата|Родина примет нас в свои объятья, как героев!|В конце миссии "Сердце Рейха".}}
 
Когда Дмитрия почти смертельно ранил с [[Walther P38|P-38]] [[Последний боец СС|выживший солдат]], Резнов достает тесак и жестоко режет этого немца. Он был очень зол, но верил в то, что Дмитрий выживет. После этого он помогает Петренко встать, разрубает при помощи тесака веревку, держащую нацистский флаг и он падает вниз, а Петренко устанавливает туда флаг СССР. Резнов говорит, что они вернутся домой вдвоем как герои. В очередной раз Резнов говорит, что сердце армии не может быть сломлено, пока жив Дмитрий.
 
   
  +
During Mason's interrogation, Hudson revealed that the real Viktor Reznov had been dead for five years, having been killed in the escape from Vorkuta. Having brainwashed Mason, Reznov was able to complete his personal objective of killing Dragovich, Kravchenko and Steiner; leading Mason to become obsessed with pursuing them in spite of his other objectives, inadvertently continuing Reznov's posthumous legacy. The Reznov witnessed by Mason was a guardian angel-like hallucination, possibly developed by multiple personality disorder.
===Операция "Олимп" (1945 год)===
 
   
  +
Due to Mason's contact with the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] throughout the operation in Vietnam, Reznov is listed in official CIA files as both the defector and a joined member of the SOG team; however, once Hudson and Weaver realized he was never there they marked him "Deceased". Yet it remained unclear how he had died.
{{Цитата|Мой отец был музыкантом в Сталинграде. Во времена немецкой оккупации его скрипка радовала сердца чудесной музыкой Корсакова, Стасова, и других наших великих композиторов.

After Mason finally killed Nikita Dragovich, he heard the voice of Reznov congratulating him for doing what he could not accomplish.
Резнов в ГУЛАГе под Воркутой рассказывает Мэйсону про операцию по захвату учёного биохимика офицера SS [[Фридрих Штайнер|Фридриха Штайнера]] и его оружия Новы. 29 октября 1945 года Резнов и [[Дмитрий Петренко|Петренко]] приняли участие в этой операции. Во время захвата базы, Резнов добирается до Штайнера и тот говорит ему, что он в сговоре с [[Никита Драгович|Драговичем]] и [[Кравченко]]. Резнов рассказывает про это Дмитрию и вскоре на корабле Драгович приказывает взять бойцов, которые узнали об этом. Дмитрий с ещё парой бойцов погибает на глазах Резнова. С этого момента он решает всеми путями отомстить за смерть боевого товарища. При побеге Резнов минирует ракету Фау-2 и вместе с [[Невский|Невским]] пробивается через бойцов Военной разведки и Британских коммандос.

Они выбираются непосредственно перед взрывом. Но Резнов не захотел бежать вечно, потому его поймали и по приказу Драговича отправили в Воркуту. Резнов говорит Мэйсону, что Драгович, Штайнер и Кравченко должны умереть.

In 1986, Alex Mason was sent to [[Afghanistan]] along with Frank Woods to obtain intel on [[Raul Menendez]] from the [[Mujahideen]]. In exchange for the intel, the Mujahideen leader demanded that Mason help them fight off an [[Soviet-Afghan War|invasion by the Soviet military]]. In the climax of the battle, Mason discovered Kravchenko was still alive and leading the Soviet attack from within a massive Soviet tank. As Mason fought Kravchenko on top of the tank, the numbers were retriggered inside his head, and he heard the voice of Reznov telling him that "Kravchenko must die."

During the interrogation, Mason was compelled by his numbers brainwashing and the voice of Reznov to kill Kravchenko. The player is given the option of either resisting the brainwashing to hear what Kravchenko knows, or giving in and killing him (immediately). Regardless of their decision, Mason and Woods are betrayed by the Mujahideen, beaten and abandoned in the desert to die. After some period of time passes, Mason saw Reznov, dressed in desert garb, riding up on a horse. Reznov dismounted and offered Mason a drink of water.
{{Цитата|Мэйсон, друг мой, скажи, во что остается верить, когда тебя предают свои же? Когда весь ты, все то, что ты сделал, оказывается погребено под слоем лжи и коррупции. Я умру в этом проклятом месте. Единственное, что не дает мне опустить руки, это жажда мести. Их нужно оставить, Мэйсон. Драгович, Кравченко, Штайнер - их нужно убить!|Виктор продолжает открывать душу перед Мэйсоном}}
 
[[Файл:Project_Nova_Reznov_in_Vorkuta.png|thumb|250px|Виктор в Воркуте]]
 
Чтобы дать Мэйсону добраться до США, Резнов становится организатором восстания. Он с Алексом изображают драку, чтобы заманить охранника, и отбирают у него ключи. Прорываясь к специальному оружию Сергея Козина убивают. Виктор открывает дверь паяльной лампой, и Мэйсон хватает с собой многоствольный пулемёт. Вскоре они попадают под слезоточивый газ, и Резнов уносит Мэйсона к мотоциклам. Сев на мотоциклы, Алекс и Виктор стали прорываться к поезду, потом они перелезли на грузовик, Резнов сел за руль. Увидев поезд, Алекс прыгает на него, а Резнов отвлёк на себя внимание советской армии. Только Мэйсон выбрался из Воркуты.
 
 
===Резнов — второе "Я" Мэйсона===
 
 
Спустя 5 лет после побега из Воркуты, Мэйсон встречается с Виктором в городе Хюэ. Мэйсон посчитал его тем самым русским перебежчиком, которого искали в ЦРУ, и вместе с ним, а также Боуменом и Вудсом прошел сложный путь к эвакуации с зоны боевых действий.
 
 
Когда американская армия начала активное вторжение в Лаос Виктор пропадает без вести, однако вскоре объявляется перед Мэйсоном. Когда Алекс с Вудсом находятся в бедственном положении, будучи в тонущем и сбитом вертолете, Резнов приходит на помощь, открывая дверь вертолета. Затем они снова встречаются в туннеле. Освободившись из плена, Мэйсон с Вудсом пробили путь к комплексу Кравченко, чтобы убить того, и в здании Мэйсон наткнулся на запертого в камере Резнова.
 
 
После предположительной смерти Кравченко и Вудса, Мэйсон с Резновым вдвоем отправляются на остров Возрождения в СССР, чтобы убить Фридриха Штайнера. Проделав нелегкий путь, они находят немца и Резнов, после небольшой речи, убивает его, но на самом деле...
 
 
Никакого Виктора Резнова не было все это время. Он был лишь плодом воображения Мэйсона после промывки мозгов в Воркуте.
 
 
Настоящий перебежчик был убит вражескими силами. В туннелях они не встречались, а спасся из вертолета Мэйсон собственными силами. На острове Алекс также был один, представляя, что рядом с ним был Виктор. Именно Алекс убивает Штайнера, думая, что это сделал Резнов.
 
 
Все это становится понятно лишь после объяснения Хадсона. После допроса Мэйсона Хадсон говорит, что Виктор Резнов погиб при побеге из Воркуты еще в 1963 году, а все время после у Мэйсона было раздвоение личности на почве промывания мозгов.
 
 
Проделав эксперимент над Алексом в Воркуте Виктор помешал планам Драговича и, вместо запланированного убийства Кеннеди в Пентагоне, запрограммировал Мэйсона на убийство самого Драговича, а также Кравченко со Штайнером. Это сделало Мэйсона одержимым и помешанным на убийстве вышеупомянутой тройки в большинстве случаев.
 
 
После того, как Драгович был убит, Мэйсон вновь услышал голос Резнова, который поздравил его с тем, что он наконец-то сделал это. Сделал то, что не смог сделать сам Резнов.
 
 
===[[Старые раны]]===
 
{{Дописать раздел}}Несмотря на то, что задание Виктора Резнова было реализовано Мэйсоном еще в 1968 году, раны остались, а цифры продолжали всплывать в подсознании Мэйсона.
 
 
В 1986 году, сражаясь в Афганистане, Алекс вновь увидел цифры, когда оказалось, что Кравченко выжил. После того, как Кравченко был схвачен Вудсом и Мэйсоном, его начали допрашивать. В этот момент цифры активизируются с новой силой, слышен голос Резнова, а игроку дается выбор: сопротивляться, или же дать волю этому. В обеих случаях Кравченко погибнет. После смерти Кравченко Мэйсона с Вудсом, а также еще нескольких солдат, их предают и выбрасывают в пустыню. У полуживого Алекса вновь начались галлюцинации. Он видит Резнова, который останавливается на лошади и дает тому выпить немного воды. [[Файл:Reznov_horse_BOII.png|250px|thumb|Резнов пришёл, чтобы спасти Мэйсона]]
 
 
----
 
В 2025 году Вудс и Дэвид Мэйсон обсуждают, был ли Резнов в Афганистане. Вудс опровергает это, говоря, что если бы Виктор появился в тот день, то наверняка задержался бы подольше и объяснил, что происходит

Biography

Early History

"My father was a musician in Stalingrad. During the German occupation, the sound of his violin filled the air with magnificent music – Korsakov, Stasov – many of the great nationalist composers. To my countrymen, it was a symbol of hope. To the Germans, it was a symbol of defiance. Even now, his music still haunts me. The Nazis slit his throat while he slept. Collaborating with any Nazi is a betrayal, a betrayal against all of Mother Russia. Dragovich and Kravchenko were not troubled by such matters. They looked only to advance towards their own interests and agendas..."
— Reznov explaining his father's death and Dragovich.

Viktor Reznov was born on April 20, 1913 in Saint Petersburg, Russia (renamed Petrograd in 1914 and Leningrad ten years later), and joined the Red Army sometime before the start of World War II. According to Reznov, his father was a musician, who, during the Siege of Stalingrad, played music by patriotic composers with his violin. His music was a symbol of hope for his fellow countrymen, but a symbol of defiance to the Germans, and Viktor never forgot the sound of his music even years later. His father had his throat slit by a German while he slept, one of the many reasons Viktor hated the German soldiers.

Battle of Stalingrad

"The rotten cancer of the Fascist Reich ravages Europe like a plague. Their relentless drive into our motherland steals the lives of men, women, and children alike. The arrogance of their leaders is matched only by the brutality of their soldiers. These are the darkest days of the Nazi occupation of Stalingrad."
— Reznov explaining the Nazis' push into Stalingrad.

He is first seen in the mission "Vendetta", as a sniper trying to assassinate the German general Heinrich Amsel, the "Architect of Stalingrad's misery". As one of the only two survivors of a brutal German massacre near a fountain, he is saved from being executed by feigning death. It is here that he and Dimitri Petrenko first meet each other, with Reznov explaining his situation to Dimitri. Reznov, who can no longer snipe precisely as a marksman due to his injured hand and blown off trigger finger, gives Petrenko his scoped Mosin-Nagant rifle, and asks him to eliminate the general. Reznov guides Dimitri on killing a few German soldiers as German bombers fly overhead, to shroud out the noise of the gunshots. He leads him through Stalingrad, dueling against a German sniper, and then dispatching a whole German platoon with multiple soldiers equipped with flamethrowers.

Then, they are saved by Petrenko's squad led by Daletski, and continue with them on an assault against a German communication post. After fierce fighting, Petrenko kills Amsel, which gives Reznov a hearty chuckle. They are soon attacked by German Panzers and soldiers. Reznov holds off numerous German soldiers before he jumps in a canal, with Dimitri soon following him. It is important to note that due to Reznov's injured finger he could not fire his rifle with perfect aim, and thus, his "character class" was changed to Submachine Gunner as he wields a PPSh-41 from then on. He is seen without his finger three years later.

Battle of Berlin

"Our grip tightens around the black heart of Berlin. The Führer demands all to shed their last drop of blood in it's defense. The old, the young, the weak. If they stand for Germany, they die for Germany. Building by building. Room by room. One rat at a time."
— Reznov to his troops, as they move farther into Berlin.

Three years later, on April 18, 1945 in Seelow Heights, Germany, Soviet troops are pushing towards Berlin. Sergeant Reznov along with a new recruit Chernov comes to rescue the captured Dimitri Petrenko from three German soldiers. Reznov often tells the other soldiers to follow Dimitri as an example, especially to Chernov, who seems to be shocked by the vengeful violence of his comrades against Wehrmacht soldiers. For example, in the level "Their Land, Their Blood", when a T-34 blows a hole in the house where Petrenko was, Reznov and his men kill a few German soldiers. The remaining German soldiers were extremely wounded and bleeding to death. Reznov hands Petrenko a Mosin-Nagant, and tells Petrenko to kill the dying German soldiers even though they are bleeding to death already. Then the player has the option to kill the wounded, or to leave. Two scenarios like this occur during the Soviet campaign. In the opening cutscene of the mission "Downfall," Reznov will read a passage from Chernov's diary. If the player kills the Germans at both sites, the passage will describe Dimitri as a monster; If the enemies are killed in one of the two sites, Chernov will be conflicted as to Petrenko's morality; and sparing them all will earn his admiration.

In the mission "Heart of the Reich", near the Reichstag, Reznov chastises Chernov for writing in his diary, stating that "no one will ever read this", upon after which he orders Chernov to at least prove

he can die for his country if he cannot kill for it, giving him the Russian flag that must be planted on the top of the Reichstag. When the Russian troops reached the final steps outside the Reichstag, Chernov was fatally wounded by a flamethrower and lay dying. Reznov takes Chernov's diary and states that "someone should read this," contrary to what he had said earlier. Another soldier carries the flag to the top of the roof but is killed before being able to plant it. Reznov then asks Petrenko to take the flag and plant it. When Petrenko gets shot almost fatally with a P-38 by a surviving SS trooper, Reznov jumps in and slices the unfortunate German twice in the torso and impales him in the back. After that, he helps Petrenko up, and tells Petrenko that he can make it, and that he always survives. He then cuts the rope holding the Nazi flag and tells Petrenko to plant the Soviet flag. He expects the two of them to return to their home as "heroes". Reznov mentions many times that the heart of the army cannot be broken as long as Dimitri lives.

Operation Olympus

"The men and I had fought through the most bitter of winters on the Eastern Front, but we were no strangers to the cold. Even now, the blood in my veins chills when I think back to the events of that day... Far, far from home..."
— Reznov telling Mason the story of Project Nova.

Six months after the Battle of Berlin, Reznov was promoted to the rank of Captain. Reznov continued to serve in the 3rd Shock Army alongside Dimitri Petrenko under the orders of Kravchenko and Dragovich, despite maintaining animosity with Dragovich for his failure to assist during Stalingrad. Reznov was incorporated with Petrenko in the Unit 45 and they deployed to Arctic Circle to capture the Nazi scientist Steiner, the mastermind behind Nova-6, a nerve toxin ordered in secret by Hitler to combat the imminent Allied victory. The Russians swept through the remaining SS troops and made contact with Steiner, who was expecting Dragovich. Reznov and Petrenko lead the way into the hold of the frozen vessel, discovering that the Germans were planning on using long-range V2 Rockets to send Nova-6 to Allied cities. The group finds and secures Nova-6, but Dragovich orders his troops to restrain Reznov and his soldiers to see the effects of Nova-6 himself. Reznov witnesses Petrenko's

horrific death when he and his comrades are gassed. Reznov escapes the same fate by the timely arrival of British commandos also seeking to capture or destroy the secret Nazi nerve toxin. He then decides that the weapon is too powerful for either side to wield. Reznov leads his small group of soldiers out of the vessel, killing both British and Russian soldiers in their escape. He manages to arm explosives to sink the ship under the ice, hoping to prevent anyone from using the toxin ever again.

Imprisonment in Vorkuta and Uprising

"Today, my comrades... Vorkuta... BURNS!!!"
— Reznov during the uprising.

Reznov was presumably captured and sent to a prison camp in Vorkuta, and had been there for the past 18 years. There, he became a companion to an American prisoner, Alex Mason, gaining his trust and protecting him during their time in the gulag. Because of this bond, Reznov was able to exploit Mason's resistance to Steiner and Dragovich's attempt to brainwash him by overriding their original mission with his own personal agenda: killing Dragovich, Kravchenko, and Steiner.

Reznov masterminds a massive uprising in Vorkuta's prison camp. He and Mason engaged in a mock fist fight to draw the guards' attention. Once Mason eliminated the guard and seized the keys, Reznov led the prisoners to the surface. The Russian prisoners expressed doubt over Mason's trustworthiness, but Reznov convinced them by explaining how they were both "soldiers without an army" and betrayed by their leaders. Reznov continued to lead the insurrection, securing a secret weapon for Mason to blow their way out. He pulled Mason out of a tear gas barrage and the two escaped on motorcycles. Mason managed to escape by leaping onto a train, however Reznov stayed behind. He had sacrificed himself to free Mason, stating that Mason deserved the freedom knowing he would carry on to go after Dragovich. When Mason told Reznov to jump onto the train to freedom, Reznov exclaimed, "For you, Mason. Not for me." He drove the truck to lure the pursuing soldiers away from Mason and leaving his fate unknown.

Reznov defector - edit

Reznov, the defector.

Mind Game and Legacy

"Mason! You did it Mason! You did, what I could not!"
— Reznov speaking for the last time to Mason.

Years later during the Vietnam War, the SOG was dispatched to Hue City to meet up with a Russian defector carrying an important dossier on Nova-6. To Mason's surprise, the defector turned out to be Reznov. Reznov gave Mason the dossier and revealed that Dragovich and Kravchenko are nearby. Reznov fought alongside Mason, but went missing during the American incursion into Laos. He reappeared after Mason's helicopter crashes, stating that Woods was a good man and that Mason had chosen his friends well. He met up with Mason again inside the Viet Cong tunnels. At this point, Swift turned around and asked what was wrong with Mason, seemingly oblivious to his contact with Reznov. 

After Kravchenko's presumed death, Reznov accompanied Mason in his unauthorized assault on Rebirth Island. The two of them fought their way to Steiner, and Reznov proceeded to execute him with a pistol. Mason insisted that it was Reznov who killed Steiner. However, the real events were witnessed by Hudson and Weaver, who saw Mason executing Steiner with a pistol while proclaiming himself to be Viktor Reznov.

During Mason's interrogation, Hudson revealed that the real Viktor Reznov had been dead for five years, having been killed in the escape from Vorkuta. Having brainwashed Mason, Reznov was able to complete his personal objective of killing Dragovich, Kravchenko and Steiner; leading Mason to become obsessed with pursuing them in spite of his other objectives, inadvertently continuing Reznov's posthumous legacy. The Reznov witnessed by Mason was a guardian angel-like hallucination, possibly developed by multiple personality disorder.

Due to Mason's contact with the CIA throughout the operation in Vietnam, Reznov is listed in official CIA files as both the defector and a joined member of the SOG team; however, once Hudson and Weaver realized he was never there they marked him "Deceased". Yet it remained unclear how he had died.

After Mason finally killed Nikita Dragovich, he heard the voice of Reznov congratulating him for doing what he could not accomplish.

"Next thing you know, he starts talkin' to the Russian. Fuckin' Reznov. Good ol' Tricky Vik."
— Woods reminisces with David Mason about Alex Mason's interactions with the hallucinatory Viktor Reznov.


In 1986, Alex Mason was sent to Afghanistan along with Frank Woods to obtain intel on Raul Menendez from the Mujahideen. In exchange for the intel, the Mujahideen leader demanded that Mason help them fight off an invasion by the Soviet military. In the climax of the battle, Mason discovered Kravchenko was still alive and leading the Soviet attack from within a massive Soviet tank. As Mason fought Kravchenko on top of the tank, the numbers were retriggered inside his head, and he heard the voice of Reznov telling him that "Kravchenko must die."

Reznov, coming to save Mason.

After being captured by Mason and Woods, Kravchenko was interrogated for information regarding his connection to Raul Menendez. During the interrogation, Mason was compelled by his numbers brainwashing and the voice of Reznov to kill Kravchenko. The player is given the option of either resisting the brainwashing to hear what Kravchenko knows, or giving in and killing him (immediately). Regardless of their decision, Mason and Woods are betrayed by the Mujahideen, beaten and abandoned in the desert to die. After some period of time passes, Mason saw Reznov, dressed in desert garb, riding up on a horse. Reznov dismounted and offered Mason a drink of water.

In 2025, David Mason and Frank Woods discuss how Alex Mason credited Reznov with saving their lives in the desert that day. However, Woods dismisses the idea that it was really Reznov, stating that if he had really been there, he would have "stuck around" for them to regain consciousness in order to explain a few things.

  • If the player decodes the phonetic alphabet code names (X-ray, Sierra etc.) in the beginning of each level of Call of Duty: Black Ops into their first letters, changes the serial numbers into letters (A-1, B-2), and removes all the Xs, the player will get this message: "Reznov is dead, or is he dead, there was no body, is he who he says he is".
  • He is the Red Army announcer for Call of Duty: World at War's multiplayer.
  • In Call of Duty: Black Ops, there is no friendly fire penalty for continuously shooting at Reznov in any level other than "Vorkuta", obviously due to him being a hallucination.
    • Often times, the hallucinatory Reznov will have his right index finger. However, some missions such as "Rebirth" show his hand missing a finger, just like the real Reznov.
    • Due to being a hallucination, all enemies killed by him are most likely killed by Mason in reality and those who fired at Reznov are most likely firing at Mason.
  • Reznov's name and birthdate are on the Dog Tags in Kill Confirmed in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
  • On the Wii version of World at War, Reznov's hand will always appear to be injured and will still be wrapped in a bloody bandage.
  • Reznov also appears in the non-canonical after-credits dance party in Black Ops II once the game is finished. He can be seen dancing next to old Alex Mason; when the camera cuts away from them and returns, Reznov has disappeared, causing Mason to appear confused. At the dance party, Reznov is dressed as he was on Rebirth Island.
  • The "Reznov's Revenge" is a usable weapon found in Mob of the Dead, a zombies map in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
  • In the end of "Vorkuta", the subtitles will say "Victor Reznov" instead of "Viktor Reznov" when the interrogator is speaking.
  • The projectile launcher in Vorkuta's prison camp is inspired from an improvised weapon used by prisoners in Rod Lurie's film The Last Castle (2001) : (The film is about the story of Lieutenant General Eugene Irwin sentenced to prison because he was responsible for the death of 8 soldiers. He is going to set up an underground army in the prison like Reznov).
  • In the zombies map Gorod Krovi there is an easter egg in the back of the tombstones that contain the trials has a message that says "Vengeance is MINE. V.R."
  • Also in Gorod Krovi, there is a trophy/achievement called "Viktorious Revenge", another reference to Reznov.
  • In Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Reznov appears along with Chernov on a calling card called "Downfall" in the World at War calling card set found in Supply Drops.
  • There is an intel file in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 labled "From Vorkuta with WTF". In the audio clip, Woods had somehow located Reznov and brought him to see Alex Mason, who begins to freak out and believes he is hallucinating upon seeing him. Woods claims that Reznov is real, and that he made it out of Vorkuta, which Reznov confirms. Alex manages to calm himself down, but is still shocked at the sight of him.
