{{Navigation}} ===Yuri=== [[File:CNC Yuri.jpg|thumb|left]] ''Played by:'' [[Udo Kier]] Yuri plays a key part in both the preparation and execution of the [[Soviet Union]]'s invasion of the [[United States]], using his mind-control technology to prevent [[Wikipedia:Nuclear weapon|nuclear]] retaliation, and later to turn the American population into mindless slaves via giant Psychic Beacons. In the Soviet campaign, Yuri initially serves as an advisor to Premier Romanov and the commander of the Psychic Corps of the [[Soviet Army]]. The Premier favours [[Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2/Codex/Characters/Soviet Union#General Vladimir|General Vladimir]], whom Yuri sees as incompetent. Yuri uses his influence on Romanov to give the command over important battles to the player. As the war progresses successfully, Yuri replaces Romanov as supreme commander of the Soviet army, eventually removing the latter from office completely, claiming the Premier has "fallen ill". Vladimir accuses him of treason. After ignoring Vladimir's accusations for a while, Yuri claims that Romanov has been murdered by Vladimir and declares him ''persona non grata''. When Vladimir is captured (never to be seen again), Yuri sends members of his "psi corps" to mind control the [[Wikipedia:President of the United States|American President]]. When the mission is successful, Yuri realizes the commander he himself so advocated to advance has become too powerful within the army. He then invites the player to come to [[Moscow]], to "personally thank" them for their services. Simultaneously, a video recording made by Romanov prior to his death reveals that Yuri was actually the mastermind behind his death, controlling him and then disposing of him. The player then destroys the [[Kremlin]], trapping Yuri under the debris. The Soviets then capture Yuri's files to locate the last remaining Allied base. At the end of the Soviet campaign, a human brain is shown floating in a jar, and Yuri's voice whispers that he would have liked to have read the player's mind, and that "he may still have a chance". In the Allied campaign, after a brief appearance in a mission briefing, he is nowhere to be seen. It is assumed that he is gathering his forces and is in San Francisco, setting up the Psychic Dominator as seen in the beginning of ''Yuri's Revenge''. In the expansion pack ''Yuri's Revenge'', the Allies have won. Yuri returns and serves as the main villain in both campaigns. Yuri then resurfaces with an army of his own and a plot to take over the world with mind-controlling Psychic Dominators affecting nearly every country. Yuri personally announces the activation of this network to [[Allied characters of Command & Conquer/Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2#President Michael Dugan|President Dugan]]. The latter orders an airstrike on the nearest Dominator, damaging its power generator and saving the [[Wikipedia:San Francisco|San Francisco]] area and his command centre from falling under Yuri's control. However, the majority of humanity succumbs to Yuri's dominance permanently. The Allies and Soviets both take up arms against Yuri, using the Allied-built [[time travel|time machine]] to travel back in time and stop Yuri from carrying out his plan. In the Soviet campaign, the Soviets change the outcome of the previous war in their favour by destroying Albert Einstein's laboratory and Chronosphere and gaining control of the Allied armies (The player plays the opposing side of an Allied mission from ''Red Alert 2'', in which the player had to defend the lab and Chronosphere. Hence, the mission's name "Operation [[Wikipedia:Déjà vu|Deja Vu]]"). Shortly after, Yuri's forces intercept Premier Romanov's plane and attempt to capture him when the latter survives the crash. The attempt fails. Yuri constructs a massive fleet of [[Wikipedia:Ballistic missile submarine|Boomer submarine]]s to take out the world's major cities. When the fleet is sunk, Yuri launches a [[space mission]] towards the [[Moon]]. Soviet troops follow this mission and destroy Yuri's new Moonbase. Eventually, Soviet and Allied armies defeat Yuri in his family castle in [[Transylvania]] but he manages to escape using the time machine captured at the beginning of the campaign. However, Lt. Zofia and the commander find out about Yuri's plan and force the time machine to malfunction, sending him to the prehistoric era where he is killed by a T-Rex. In the Allied campaign, Yuri captures [[Hollywood]] and starts "[[recycling]]" its population in Grinders to fuel his war effort. Movie stars, such as "[[Wikipedia:Clint Eastwood|Flint Westwood]]", "[[Wikipedia:Arnold Schwarzenegger|Arnie Frankenfurter]]", and [[Wikipedia:Sylvester Stallone|Sammy Stallion]]" aid the Allies in foiling this plot. Yuri then turns his attention to [[Seattle]] and "[[Microsoft Corporation|Massivesoft]]", using the company's [[R&D]] teams to advance his [[Genetics|genetic]] research (which later manifests in a mutation inducing device), as well as blackmailing its owner for money. Yuri also threatens the city with a [[nuclear missile]], but the Allies push his forces out using a weather-control machine. Next, professor [[Command & Conquer: Red Alert/Codex/Characters/Allied Powers#Professor Albert Einstein|Albert Einstein]] is kidnapped at Yuri's orders. The former's expertise is used to try and accelerate the construction of Yuri's global network of Psychic Dominators, but Einstein sabotages the one he is assigned to in [[Egypt]] and is later rescued by [[Tanya Adams]]. Yuri launches a cloning operation in [[Australia]], attempting to replace the world's leaders with clones. When this fails, he mind controls [[Eva Lee|Lt. Eva Lee]] into revealing the secret location of a convention where the aforementioned leaders gather to sign a military cooperation treaty between the Allies and Soviets. A direct assault on the London [[Wikipedia:Palace of Westminster|Houses of Parliament]] ensues. After the assault fails, Yuri is tracked down by Lt. Eva, allowing the Allies and Soviets to finally destroy the last Psychic Dominator and capture him in [[Antarctica]]. The Allies capture Yuri in Antarctica and haul him to prison. There he is put inside Doctor Einstein's latest invention, the Psychic Isolation Chamber, which is used to strip Yuri of his mind control abilities, guarded by security personnel with headsets that block psychic transmission. There, it is assumed Yuri remains in prison for the rest of his life. As [[Major General Ben Carville|General Carville]] put it: "He won't be able to mind control a fly." Yuri appears to be unable to mind-control animals, as he can't mind-control the T-Rex that killed him when he was transported back to the Jurassic Period. ==References== {{Reflist}} {{Command & Conquer|Red Alert}} [[Category:Lists]]
