Malory is forced to hire Barry Dylan to rescue him. When Archer attempted to find out if Nikolai was his father, he ended up being captured by the Finnish.

Nikolai is seen as his assistant, Boris, pretends to be a studio executive greenlighting Malory and Cyril Figgis' rewrite of Rona Thorne's movie Disavowed as a sequel to Mandigo called Mandingo 2: The Enslavening. Manfred and Uta manage to escape, and are thus paid for killing Utne. Sterling, believing that Malory put LSD in the baby aspirin again, states that is just 'classic her.'Īfter Hubsch was (possibly) unintentionally poisoned by Uta, Utne is killed when Manfred and Uta open fire on him. Sterling later found her cosmetic communicator in the bathroom, where Nikolai hastily turned it off. Hubsch later received her orders from Nikolai via her cosmetic communicator. When Manfred realizes that 'that Russian prick' sent two teams again, Uta suggests that they should kill both Hubsch and Utne. However, it was later revealed that Nikolai also hired Elke Hubsch to kill Utne. When Malory was holding a dinner party for Torvald Utne so that ISIS could get a UN contract, Nikolai hired Manfred and Uta to kill Utne. Malory later stated that she would have known if there was a KGB mole, since she was having phone sex with Nikolai earlier that day. Crenshaw had everyone in ISIS fooled for (presumably) years, until an issue with Archer's expense accounts forced Crenshaw to reveal himself, leading to his death. Nikolai planted the KGB mole, Kremenski (who went by the name Crenshaw), in ISIS. However, as Jakov notes, this was the night before she broke his heart and disappeared for nine months.

40 years prior to the start of the storyline, Nikolai had a relationship with Malory Archer, where he may have possibly conceived Sterling Archer.
