Andrey Terekhov (SMERSH: Fox Hole)

Counterintelligence characters (SMERSH) Senior Lieutenant Andrei Terekhov is a strong-willed, collected, and cool-headed leader: he maintains his composure in critical situations and is able to make quick decisions. At the same time, he is not without humanity—he cares for his men and strives to minimize losses. Lieutenant Sergei Mokrousov is a reliable partner, level-headed and reasonable; he operates not on emotion, but on experience and logic. He often acts as a brake on impulsive impulses, helping to soberly assess the situation. Junior Sergeant Katya Elovskaya is bold and observant, yet more emotional than the men in the group: she can react sharply to the injustice and cruelty of war. She combines intuition with a sense of duty, noticing details that others miss. She works as a translator at headquarters, but doesn't run through the woods. She's only a translator, not a scout. Colonel Gontar is a tough, demanding, but fair commander: he sets clear objectives and expects results, and does not tolerate negligence. At the same time, he understands the value of human lives and does not push people into missions that are certain to fail. Second-rank State Security Commissioner Abakumov is powerful and pragmatic, thinking in terms of big goals and state security: for him, results are more important than personal stories, and he is prepared to make tough decisions for the common good. Characters from the police Police Captain Kovalenok is a practical and down-to-earth officer: he knows the local realities, knows how to negotiate with people, and relies on proven methods. He doesn't strive for heroic deeds, but he does his job conscientiously and is willing to assist counterintelligence where his expertise is appropriate.
