===Scheming Against the Schultzes===
Seeking for the way to reach the , Poloznev learned that Anderson and Eliza Schultz supporting the political career of their son, David. Although they wanted David to become the next President of the United States, they kept him out of public as much as possible. Eventually, Poloznev learned that David, in fact, gay and that information could possibly damage Schultzes' political campaign.
Poloznev contacted with Kazan from the Russian Mafia in New York City and ordered him to find evidence to prove that statement. He intended to wait for David to eventually take office and then blackmail the Schultzes with the pictures. Sergei Konchevsky hired Fiona and her crew to make the pictures. However, Fiona and her crew were killed by John Pilgrim before they could hand the pictures to Konchevsky. Thus, the photos never reached Poloznev.
===Kidnapped by the Punisher===
Poloznev attended the event at the New York Academy of Medicine to have dinner together with his family. However, the waitress, who actually was Amy Bendix, showed him the pictures of David Schultz that he paid for. Realizing that the waitress could uncover his schemes, Poloznev ordered his bodyguard to follow her. Poloznev then apologized to his daughter and left the Academy.
Sitting in his car, he found out that his driver was replaced by the Punisher who kidnapped Poloznev and drove him to the docks outside of the town. Threatening Poloznev with the shotgun, Castle demanded him to tell everything about the deal with the Russian Mafia and the pictures. Telling Castle about his childhood and his extensive notions of fate, Poloznev explained that he paid for the picture to manipulate the Schultzes and Testament Industries.
Despite Poloznev's thoughts, Castle informed him that he did not kill nor Sergei Konchevsky, nor Kazan, and someone is hunting for him. Poloznev offered Castle to unite against the Schultzes, however, Castle refused to work with him and prepared to kill Poloznev. Poloznev was not afraid of death and asked Castle just not to shoot him in the face, as he wanted his family to identify him. Poloznev told Castle about his daughter and how he enjoyed her play on the violin. Castle reluctantly decided to spare Poloznev and demanded to take his family and leave New York City. Poloznev thanked Castle, but he just warned Poloznev to stay away from the country or he will find him.
===Assassinated===
Accepting Frank Castle's warning, Poloznev prepared to leave the United States of America, together with his family. As he was in the elevator with his bodyguards, Poloznev was suddenly confronted by John Pilgrim. Pilgrim killed the bodyguards and, after the brief pause, assassinated Poloznev himself, shooting him in the head and leaving his body behind.
