Oleg Minkov (Russian: Олег Миньков) is a minor character in Grand Theft Auto IV.

History

Background

Minkov lives in a townhouse on Iroquois Avenue in Hove Beach, Broker.

He begins to spread subversive ideas against the American government through the internet and soon after becomes extremely paranoid, believing that the government wants to kill him for what he has written.

Events of Grand Theft Auto IV

A government agent at United Liberty Paper hires Niko Bellic to kill Minkov. When Niko comes to his house, he is not home but his laptop lets Niko find out his email to Vasily mentioning their meeting place in Tulsa Street, Broker. When Niko arrives to their location, Vasily detects that Niko is watching him and tells Minkov to be careful. He finds out the threat and escapes by his car. He is later killed by Niko after a car chase.

Character

Appearance

Oleg uses the same character model as James Pedeaston (albeit with a beard) and pedestrians sometimes seen in Hove Beach.

Trivia

• One of his emails shows that an anonymous client hired the law firm Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster to send him a cease-and-desist on his "manuscript".
• His favorite radio stations are Vladivostok FM and LCHC.
• Oleg's 'All-Seeing Eye' laptop background is most likely a reference to the Illuminati.
• Across from Oleg’s fireplace is a portrait of Gogetter from love-meet.
