Vladimir Kosygin was a Soviet soldier. By the later stages of the Second World War he was a major and a well known nuclear warfare strategist. Kosygin became disillusioned by Stalin's methods, especially as the dictator became enraged at the Soviet's failing war effort and took out his anger on subordinates. The major contacted the Allies and offered to defect. He was extracted from Riga, Latvia during an attack led by Field Commander A9.
At Allied headquarters he answered General Gunther von Esling's inquiries concerning the state of the Soviet nuclear program. He summarized Stalin's televised announcement by warning the general the dictator was preparing to launch nuclear weapons. Based on Kosygin's intelligence von Esling directed Field Commander A9 to destroy the Dark Horseman base, the Soviet's primary missile manufacturing facility, and its launch capability.
