In Call of Duty: World at War, during the Vendetta mission, you and Reznov encounter a sniper who Reznov calls Svoloch. In the sequel, Call of Duty: Black Ops, during the Vorkuta mission, Mason and Reznov encounter yet another Svoloch, who Mason punches in the face.
Are they the same person? If yes, how did he survive a sniper shot from Dimitri?
