History[]
While working as a junior analyst for the CIA's Directorate of Intelligence, Jack Ryan inadvertently uncovers evidence of an imminent terrorist attack. With no intelligence to verify his discovery, Ryan is promoted to field agent and sent to Moscow to continue his investigation, where he soon encounters Viktor Cherevin, an enigmatic businessman at the center of a plot to cripple the global economy. As Ryan learns to navigate the world of intelligence, fend off assassins, and address the potential breakdown of his marriage, he comes to the realization that it may already be too late to stop Cherevin from ushering in an economic catastrophe of unprecedented scale.
Cherevin plans to make the American dollar useless by buying up stock markets and placing his supposed dead son Aleksandr as a sleeper agent in America.
After failing to cripple his economic shares and having New York saved by Ryan, he received a phone call informing that Sorokin will meet him in a secluded forest. Cherevin was in the van driven by Sorokin's guards as the incoming van with Sorokin was on the way. He made his final words, "It was all for Russia." and Sorokin responded before his bodyguards shot him, killing him instantly as the van Cherevin rode followed them, leaving him lifeless in the forest.
He served in the Soviet Military as he was a soldier in the Soviet war in Afghanistan.
