Colonel Ephgeny Borisovich Volgin/ Thunderbolt/ Age (Tselinoyarsk 30's/ 40's) Deceased
Known as "Thunderbolt" in the West, Yevgeny Borisovitch Volgin is a sadistic GRU colonel. He intends to overthrow Khrushchev and install Brezhnev and Kosygin in his place. He also intends to seize control of Russia, and eventually dominate the entire world. In order to achieve this, he kidnaps the weapons scientist Nikolai Stepanovich Sokolov and forces him to complete the Shagohod, a weapon that will be his main trump card for power, along with the Cobra unit and the Philosophers' Legacy, which he inherited illegally from his father.
Volgin's body carries an electric charge of ten million volts, which he uses for his own sadistic means. However, as a result of this, he is afraid of water, and is often heard to use the phrase "Kuwabara, Kuwabara," a chant that is believed to ward off lightning. Volgin is killed at the end of Operation Snake Eater, ironically by a bolt of lightning after battling with Snake and EVA.
