Enshrouded in mystery since their inception, the Russian Spetsnaz have a pivotal role in the march towards global domination by Russia. Anonymous sources, from within the intelligence community of the United States Government, fear the top level of Russia's commandos infiltrated North America and Western Europe during the height of the Cold War.

The exact nature of the Spetnaz's connection to the Soviet Illuminati remains unclear. The numbers, scope and control of the Spetsnaz overseas increased dramatically over the ensuing years. The Russian Spetsnaz are thought to be completely inactive and await the final command to initiate their end game objectives.
