“	Welcome to basic training, comrades! If you wish to survive, you will have to do exactly as I say. Now, go over to that table and pick up those weapons.	„

“	Listen comrades, there is an armory to the east in the basement of a house. Go there and load up some ammunition and supplies. I will stay and take care of our guest. Remember what you have learned. Good luck!	„

Commissar Letlev (Russian: Летлев) is a Soviet character in the 2005 video game Call of Duty 2. He is a Russian officer tasked with training a group of new recruits for the Red Army.

Biography[]

Letlev only appears in the level "Red Army Training". He is the drill sergeant for the 13th Guards Rifle Division. He supervises target practice and orders the soldiers to throw potatoes at several targets instead of real grenades. His reason for this is that real grenades are worth more than the troops. He also supervises the recruits practicing melee attacks on dummies.

After the training, the player follows Letlev to a building to interrogate a captured German. The German tells Letlev about an oncoming attack to try and avoid execution, however Letlev kills the prisoner anyway after sending the player to fight the Germans.

Letlev is last seen at the end of the level, having successfully beaten the Germans and sending the recruits into battle.

Trivia[]

Letlev is the first Call of Duty character to be a villain rather than simply an antagonist.
- He is also the first Call of Duty villain to succeed in all of his goals.
If the player refuses to obey any of Letlev's orders during basic training, he will warn them three times before he declares Vasily a coward or a traitor and shoots him dead.
The image of Commissar Letlev is not historical, but rather caricatured or propagandistic. For this reason, in Russia and a number of other countries, the image of the commissar has been significantly changed. Some phrases were replaced (for example, instead of the phrase about grenades and soldiers, Letlev simply says that the Red Army has too few grenades, and the grenade is needed only to kill a fascist), as well as actions (the commissar does not shoot a prisoner of war, who remains alive and bound until the end of the level). Also, the commissioner's voice is made more patient and edifying. Thus, Letlev's image is made wiser and more heroic and in the above countries Letlev is considered a hero. (it should also be pointed out that the phrase about potatoes that appeared in these translations has become a popular meme).
