Valeriy Fedorovich Lebedjev is a major in the Soviet KGB. He served alongside Colonel Vladimir Orlovsky as his intelligence liaison, who was an old friend of his. He is most likely in his 40's and is married to Alexandra, the daughter of the Soviet Defense Minister.[1]

Background[]

Lebedjev works for KGB's Third Chief Directorate, the Soviet Union's military counter-intelligence organisation. He assesses and gathers important information about locations and certain objectives, and the threats that stand in the way. Though the information he acquires aren't always very accurate, his estimates are often close, as the Soviet forces in Germany wouldn't know about the enemies they would face without this information.

Other than intelligence gathering, he also works on Soviet propaganda. He is often heard on local radios and televisions talking about the progress of the Soviet armies in the war. More often that not, his statements are purely propaganda and only favour the Soviet war effort, while concealing those of its NATO enemies.

A side-task of Lebedjev is to collect information from Soviet soldiers for the Morale Department in the KGB's Third Chief Directorate. This is to ensure that Soviet soldiers have the proper morale, as well as so that the can assess the problems or conditions of certain soldiers.

Lebedjev on his way to Orlovsky

Lebedjev gained a high level of authority from being a KGB agent as well as being the son-in-law of the defense minister, and was sent to Berlin to oversee and help out in the battle by providing intelligence. After the battle, he and Orlovsky converse on what the outcome of the war might be, with Lebedjev having high hopes of them winning. Orlovsky on the other hand, had his doubts.[2]

As the fighting in Western Europe turned into a stalemate (with the exception of the defeat in France), they were sent to Norway to destroy several anti-aircraft emplacements. The knowledge of the AA emplacements could have likely come from Lebedjev. The mission was a success and a corridor for Soviet bombers was opened.[3]

Invasion of the United States[]

In November 1989, the Soviets invaded Seattle.

With Seattle captured, the Soviets began expanding their frontline. Lebedjev aided Colonel Orlovsky in pacifying the surrounding countryside while the other Soviet forces made their drive toward Fort Teller.[4][5]

After the Soviet defeat at Cascade Falls, Orlovsky confronted Lebedjev and convinced him to some degree that they should leave America and that he would need Lebedjev's help. After watching Orlovsky die after being shot by his own nephew Maleshenko, Lebedjev pretends to support him while taking command of the remaining companies. Even though he had orders to bring the rest of the battalion to Seattle, he, after witnessing direct combat alongside Romanov, follows Orlovsky's wishes to evacuate the battalion out of the United States. He makes a speech over the radio announcing that they will "Live to fight another day," as the American saying goes, and reassures Romanov that as "sane men" they are needed back home.[6]

When he is about to board the ships with his men to return home, a red-taped Captain pests him for paperwork as Orlovsky is dead. Although Lebedjev convinced the captain with his powerful connection to the Minister of Defense, the captain persisted causing Lebedjev to threaten to shoot him in order for him and his men to get home.

Trivia[]

  • The ZIL-4104 he is seen in has post Soviet era plates and is seen smoking American cigarettes which was not uncommon of KGB officers, but possible because of Perestroika.
