Vladimir Makarov's campaign to avenge Imran Zakhaev's death forms part of the conflict in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. A former lieutenant of Zakhaev, Makarov commits terrorist attacks over five years.
Meanwhile, the Ultranationalists have taken control of Russia despite the previous game's U.S. Marine Corps and British Special Air Service efforts. They honor Zakhaev as a hero and martyr, straining relations with the United States. This first-person shooter is a direct sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
