Description
After the fall of the Soviet Union, Sergei Kudrenko maintained his position as a commander of the Russian Spetsnaz and held command over small regions with near autonomy. His army established illegal trading for all types of contraband, earning him additional money and weapons. His dealings included the acquisition of laser trip mines made from the paramilitary organization Red Section.
The Agency and Gabriel Logan authorized a mission to assassinate Kudrenko and his top officer, Maksim Lebedev. Logan was successful only in the murder of Lebedev, but he injured Kudrenko and left burns over half his body. Sergeyev of the Spetsnaz took control of the unit until Kudrenko could recover.
Spetsnaz forces moved into Kuranca, Azerbaijan several years later to secure oil from the Caspian Sea. Russian intelligence discovered the X-Z-2 in development by rogue Chinese scientist Shen Rei and sent the Spetsnaz to recover one device transported by the U.S. National Intelligence Oversight Committee. Spy satellites noted the sinking of the U.S.S. Mt. St. Helens, but Kudrenko dispatched a group of divers to retrieve information.
After failing to secure codes from the NIOC couriers, the Spetsnaz searched Kuranca for Shen Rei and his wife, Lian Xing. Kudrenko and his men caught Mi6 operative Maggie Powers alongside Logan, and placed both within a gulag. They escaped onto an airplane in use by Kudrenko, and Logan killed him inside of the cargo hold, ending the Spetsnaz's search for the X-Z-2.
