Michael's relationship with Nechaev is extremely strained. They mutually dislike each other.

Deputy General Director

He may be brave in words, but as soon as danger begins to threaten him, he immediately becomes very cowardly. German scientist of Jewish origin who worked as a doctor in Berlin during the war. Survived the first outbreaks of the Brown Plague and was later rescued by Soviet soldiers. Before infection, he had a phenomenal memory, which was emphasized by his colleagues, but after the onset of the disease he lost this ability and never demonstrated it again (which, however, he does not regret).

Thanks to his scientific and organizational talents, Stockhausen quickly climbed the career ladder, demonstrating excellent skills as a hardware manager. As a scientist from the German SSR, under a quota, he was among the employees of the Enterprise and quickly earned the respect of Sechenov. Despite German pedantry and some snobbery, he is one of the most recognizable and beloved faces of Enterprise 3826. He speaks perfectly without a German accent, but prefers to imitate it every now and then, thus emphasizing his past.

Michael Stockhausen (Goldenzweig) was a German scientist of Jewish origin who worked in a secret Berlin laboratory as a doctor during the war. Survived the first outbreaks of the “Brown Plague” in dying Berlin and was rescued by Soviet soldiers. Using forged documents, he changed his name, trying to avoid punishment for the crimes of the Reich. Before infection, he had a phenomenal memory, which his colleagues emphasized, but after the onset of the disease he lost this ability and never demonstrated it again (which, however, he did not regret).

Thanks to perseverance, cunning and the ability to subtly sense the mood of management, Stockhausen quickly climbed the career ladder, demonstrating his talent as a manager and intriguer. As a scientist from the German SSR, under a quota, he was among the employees of the Enterprise and quickly earned the respect of Sechenov. At the moment, he is trying to be useful to management, not forgetting about his own benefit. It is he who is behind Petrov’s arrest - having become one of the first people whom Petrov trusted, he immediately denounced him

The biography of Michael Stockhausen is a complex construction of several layers of half-truths, omissions and outright lies, and if his dossier at the Enterprise only omits some not very attractive details, then his public image, depicting a principled and consistent anti-fascist and ideological communist, is as far from reality as possible.

Despite the fact that in public Stockhausen wears the mask of a benevolent and friendly intellectual, underneath it hides a cold-blooded and ruthless schemer, ready to go over his head for the sake of his goals and evaluates any action taken from the standpoint of the benefit he acquires. For people familiar with the unsightly underside of his character , Stockhausen gives the impression of an unprincipled sycophant who is not trustworthy - so Nechaev, when asked about the reasons for his negative attitude towards Michael, answers with a sarcastic rhetorical question: “He first walked around Berlin in formation, and now he has become an exemplary communist?” An incident that occurred in complex “Pavlov” - having stumbled upon a seriously wounded employee of the Enterprise begging for help, Shtok, being a doctor of medical sciences, did not consider it necessary to waste time on the victim and simply ordered one of Sechenov’s bodyguards to finish him off.

The Deputy Director of the Enterprise’s own attitude towards people fully reveals the episode with Viktor Petrov: although the unlucky robotics engineer sincerely considered Stockhausen his comrade, the latter, pursuing personal interests, not only immediately reported “malicious slander against Comrade Sechenov” as soon as he an appropriate reason appeared, thereby provoking the arrest of Petrov, but also requested an impressive monetary reward from the correction department of the Enterprise.

Michael Stockhausen is the second person at the Enterprise and often deals with the most sensitive issues - for example, it was Stock that Sechenov instructed to organize all the necessary conditions for conducting a social experiment at the Maya Plisetskaya Theater. leading to the emergence of the infamous “behind the scenes.” At some point, Stockhausen established friendly relations with the talented programmer Viktor Petrov, promoting his talented protégé up the career ladder and playing on his pride in every possible way. Over time, however, this alliance cracked: the relationship between Victor and Larisa Filatova became the subject of jealousy on the part of Michael, and as soon as the pragmatic German received evidence at his disposal that allowed him to convict Petrov of disloyalty to Dmitry Sechenyi, he promptly got rid of his “ friend,” reporting him to the Enterprise security service.

Although such a stab in the back was rewarded financially for Stockhausen, he was unable to take away the woman he desired from his rival. However, Stock still does not give up his attempts to win Filatova’s heart while Petrov is serving his sentence in the form of correctional labor in Vavilov.
