Biography[]
Zharkov was a Soviet doctor specializing in torture who served under Colonel Ozerov at the Starcourt Base Hawkins, Indiana. When Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley, two employees at the Starcourt Mall, were captured trying to infiltrate the base, Ozerov called in Zharkov to interrogate them about who they were working for. Not believing their claims that they had discovered the base and broken in of their own volition, Zharkov injected them with truth serum, but since they were telling the truth all this did was make them high.
Still believing they were hiding something, Zharkov resorted to torturing Steve by ripping out his fingernails until Robin confessed how they had intercepted the Russian code. Before Zharkov and Ozerov could press them for more information, an alarm went off elsewhere in the base and Ozerov left to investigate. While he was gone, Dustin Henderson and Erica Sinclair stormed the room and Dustin attacked Zharkov with one of the guard's rods, electrocuting him and leaving him prone on the floor. The four infiltrators then escaped, leaving Zharkov either unconscious or dead.
