Characters from The Man from U.N.C.L.E. that were Russian or coded as such.

1. Illya Kuryakin

2. Laslo Kurasov and Vladeck. The Strigas Affair. Their names aren’t Russian, but Laslo Kurasov is clearly based on Khruschev based on the shoe scene. Also, Madame Kurasov was played by Narda Onyx whose parents escaped Russia before she was born.

And Leonard Nimoy is of Ukrainian Jewish ancestry, so, he’s also linked with Russia. Werner Klemperer (Laslo Kurasov) and Susanne Kramer (Mr. Smith) were both born in Germany and then there’s also amazing Woodrow Parfrey who played a text book Russian spy, but we’ll never know his real name.

3. Madame Sophia Grushenka. The See-Paris-and-Die Affair. She actually speaks some very good Russian (mostly cursing in it). Played by Miriam Goldina who was born in Russia.

4. Mister Kutuzov. The Cherry Blossom Affair. Woodrow Parfrey again. Very different from his previous (as well as his next) appearance in the show, but it’s yet another Russian spy.

5. Madame Olga Nemirovitch. The Adriatic Express Affair. Her last name is a nod towards Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko who was Stanislavsky’s colleague. I see her and I think of Russian Ballets... Also, she founded THRUSH. So, there’s that.

6. Another Olga. The Bridge of Lions Affair. Just the name. Also, she’s badass.

7-8. Chairman Georgi Koz, Maxim Radish and Ferenc Pifnic. The Jingle Bells Affair. All played by actors born in the Russian empire. Chairman Koz is even more clearly based on Khruschev than Kurasov was. And also. Radish. Red-ish?..

9. Irina. The Candidate’s Wife Affair. It’s a Russian name. But also Diana Hyland played another Russian-y character called Mara in The Nowhere Affair. But there’s only her accent and that’s it. (And also the fact that she is clearly just fem!Illya)

10. Harry Beldon. The Summit-Five Affair. Head of U.N.C.L.E. North East, travels between many cities among which are Berlin and Helsinki. Idek, it was clear to me from the first moment that he was coded as Russian. Maybe his clothes or behaviour or his steam bath or the fact that Illya had worked with him...
