Smirnov

Our orders are to take off if we come under attack, so hurry the hell up!

Lieutenant Smirnov is a character that only appears in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.

Background

Smirnov is a soldier serving in the Ukrainian military. Not much is known about him.

Appearances

Call of Pripyat

He is part of the evacuation team ordered to evacuate Major Alexander Degtyarev, Strelok and the rest of Operation Fairway survivors out of the Zone. He appears only in the mission "Evacuation", at the evac point B28 in Pripyat along with two random soldiers to protect the site while Degtyarev, Strelok, Kovalsky and all the other survivors fight their way through Zombified Stalkers and mutants to reach the evac point. He is heard communicating with the team twice: once to Kovalsky to ask about the team's whereabouts, and the second time to the player to report they are under attack by "an unidentified enemy". He is armed with a scoped AC-96/2.

He has a chance of dying during the battle against the Monolith forces. Either way, his death does not affect the rest of the mission, nor the ending sequence.
