Private Vasili[1] Ivanovich Koslov was a soldier in the Red Army who fought during World War II. Vasili was a playable character featured in the Russian campaign in Call of Duty 2.
[edit] Biography
Vasili Ivanovich Koslov was born in the Soviet Union. When he grew to adulthood he joined the Red Army to help protect his motherland from the German invaders. One of his motivations for fighting was the death of several of his relatives in German artillery fire, making him possibly the most sympathetic of the protagonists in the game.
Vasili first joined the Soviet Red Army in the afternoon of December 16th, 1941. A day later, Vasili traveled with his comrades in the back of a truck to Moscow and did some basic training with Commissar Letlev, and soon fought off a German attack. Vasili and his fellow comrades traveled to Stalingrad afterward and fought there for most of the war. he rarely speaks in many of the battles. Vasili had to destroy some Nazi tanks with some sticky bombs in combat. Vasili also protected his comrades by sniping and providing covering fire, quite often from regular infantry but as well from enemy machine guns or snipers. Vasili most likely survived the War, though it isn't confirmed.
Vasili was capable of using weapons such as the PPSh-41, MP40, and many more.
Vasili is likely to have been the brother of Natasha but might have been mistaken for another Russian soldier with the same name but with two "S" in Yuri Petrenko's notes to his girlfriend Natasha in Call of Duty: United Offensive. If this is in fact his sister, then he presumably reunited with her after the war.
[edit] Trivia
- In the Nazi Zombie maps Shi No Numa and Der Riese, when Nikolai gets a Russian Weapon from the Mystery Box, he says "Vasili would be proud". It is possible that he was referring to this Vasili, or the famous real-world sniper, Vasily Zaytsev.
- It is possible that he is the brother of Yuri Petrenko's girlfriend, Natasha
- He has the same middle name as Alexei Ivanovich Voronin, the Russian protagonist of the first Call of Duty. But this does not mean anything, because Russian middle names are not chosen by parents, they mean father's name. In this case, Koslov (and Voronin) father's name was Ivan. vasilis voice can be heard on a misson stating his family.Vasli is the first person in the call of duty series whos voice can be heard
- Although he said at his diary at the "Red Army Training" that he has never held a rifle, he can use other guns and even German guns (maybe the weapons are easy to operate)
