San Hieronymo Incident Main article: San Hieronymo Incident Warning: The following information is from outside Hideo Kojima's core "Metal Gear Saga." It has some level of canonicity within the continuity, but reader discretion is advised. After Snake's deception was revealed, Raikov was discovered, rendering Snake's disguise useless. Raikov, left in nothing more than his underwear, was then placed in a nearby locker and sealed inside. While Raikov performed his rounds within the East Wing of the weapons lab, Snake knocked him unconscious and stole his uniform, after following advice from EVA. During the time of Operation Snake Eater, he frequently made patrols around the east wing of Groznyj Grad's weapons lab. This exemption, and his similar build to FOX agent Naked Snake, made him a target for impersonation during the CIA's Operation Snake Eater in September 1964. Having Volgin's favor, Raikov was one of the very few Groznyj Grad members below the rank of Colonel to have access to the West Wing of the Groznyj Grad production facility, to the extent that despite technically only being a Major in rank, he was treated as if he were a colonel. Operation Snake Eater See also: Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater He also earned at least nine ribbon bars on his uniform for service to the Soviet Union, including the Order of the Red Star. Raikov was originally to have been impersonated by a CIA agent, using a state of the art face mask developed by Sigint, in order to steal secret documents from the Soviet Union, but the mission was aborted prior to its commencement. He also gained a bit of a reputation in the West for his abusive actions.

Although the Soviet military did not approve of Raikov's abuse of his soldiers, Volgin's influence prevented them from doing anything about it. Raikov was born sometime during the mid 1930s to early 1940s.
