Disguised as American serviceman "Lincoln", a Russian soldier accompanied his superiors, Colonel Dovchenko and Irina Spalko, to infiltrate Hangar 51 in Nevada. When they opened the metal sarcophagus, the magnetic remains within pulled the glasses off of his face.
Later (after getting his glasses back) he was one of the three soldiers who followed Indiana Jones to Doom Town, not knowing that it was not a real town but a nuclear testing site. Upon hearing the air raid siren, Lincoln yelled for the others and they got in their car and attempted to drive away. When the blast hit, Lincoln watched a certain fridge sail overhead before the shockwave struck the car, incinerating him and the other two men inside.
Behind the scenes
The role of "Lincoln" was played by Emmanuel Todorov in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, credited the first of four Russian Soldiers.
According to the insignia on his shirt, Lincoln was pretending to be a Private First Class in the U.S. Army.
