== Biography ==
=== Not One Step Back ===
Sergeant Puskov makes contact with Private Aleksandr Sokolov immediately after his arrival in Stalingrad and the pair decide to work together as they make their way into the city. Sneaking through pipes into the grounds of a ruined oil refinery, they stumble upon a Red Army assault on a heavily fortified German position, and opt to flank them rather than charge head-on to their deaths. They are successful in flanking the machine gun emplacement and killing the German soldiers operating the weapon, allowing for the Soviet troops to surge forward.
=== The Flag Must Fall ===
Puskov and Sokolov, now joined by a larger force, storm a nearby office building with clear sights on Mameyev Kurgan, a dominant height overlooking the city. Puskov orders a machine gun to be placed in a nearby window, which Sokolov must commandeer after the death of the gunner. However, Puskov soon spots a German sniper and rushes to push Sokolov out of sight from the window, only to be shot and killed. Puskov has been shot to head and died quickly after being shot. A stunned Sokolov then meets the respected sniper Lieutenant Tanya Pavelovna, who directs him in an assault on the hill and later takes him on as her spotter.
