PERSEUS, KONNI GROUP, ULTRANATIONALISTS, SSO (formerly)
Nikolaj and Nikita Zakhaev were born through the extramarital affair of Viktor Zakhaev and Oksana Makarova, the older sister of Konni Group commander and ultranationalist leader Vladimir Makarov in 2005. Although their legitimacy was a point of contention through the family, Viktor's involvement with their childhood was somewhat minimal, leaving their uncle as their father figure and influence.
Oksana didn't want her children to follow in the family business, but hoped that they'd have a place in the new world order her younger brother aspired to create out of the ashes of the western world.
Both boys attended relatively good schools and lived their lives publicly under the "Makarov" surname, only dropping it when they were old enough to join the movement, and have their legitimacy acknowledged by their grandfather before his death in his will.
Both Kita and Kolya received informal training under their uncle and their family friend, Yuri. It was Kolya who was the more "naturally talented" and gifted of the two. Makarov encouraged Kolya to nurture his sadistic and ruthless tendencies, and had Nikita keep his more fragile brother's mind from breaking.
When working together, they are a threat almost equivalent to Makarov himself, perfect extensions of his power in the form of two young lieutenants. Should anything happen to him, they will carry on what he started.
Kolya was born with a sensitive immune system and an allergy to fish his father thought could be cured by just feeding him it. Growing up, Kolya was more or less outcasted for being more asocial, only comfortable around his family.
Eventually the emotional little Kolya was discovered to be able to switch his empathy on and off as his mentors guided him and hoped to shape him into a perfect leader for their intentions. The Ultranationalists saw him as the natural next in line for their values, and the secretive Perseus group saw him as a potential candidate for their own plans.
The only one he is sure is not using him for an ulterior goal is his twin, who makes sure he remembers that the validation of others he desperately seeks will not be worth losing his autonomy and control- the very thing they're convinced they're fighting for.

What do you think about Mat and Kolya?
I feel like Matvey and Kolya would be close and it would make Kita feel threatened (bc hes so used to having his twin be close to him)
I feel like it'd also be sad considering how Kolya changes over time under Makarov's care, becoming essentially a murder machine :(
When Matvey was younger, he was an emotional one in the family, never hid much of anything and wasn't good under too much pressure. He would've grown up alongside the twins, only having a month or three difference in age(Matvey being the youngest in the trio.)
Tumblr media
Matvey never was trained with the twins, quite the opposite really, he was the sheltered child, more of a bystander and was made to live a "peaceful" civilian life away from the cause. He'd be there if his presence was mandatory but most of the time was kept at an arm's length in regards to the family business beyond words spoken to him, certain details lasting on him given his observant nature.
Kolya and Matvey at least on Matvey's end saw the other as an older brother, the person he should be and look up to, something he would also see in Kita but to a much lesser extent since sometimes Kita's antics grated on his nerves. Matvey would try to include Kita in whatever him and Kolya did even if most of the time the twin would refuse, Matvey not understanding how he seemed to threaten the tight-knit bond between Kolya and Kita.
After Matvey's self-proclaimed "failure" in his formative years, a "failure" that most now would call a blessing in disguise he would go to his cousins most of the time just to see if they'd implore him and teach him what they learned that day or ask them how things were going, all the while swinging his feet back and forth.
I do think Matvey and Kolya would stay close in their teens, even when Kolya started to become more and more entangled with Konni/the Ultranationalist Party, he would always be family, no matter what happens.
Matvey would still notice how his cousins have changed. How he doesn't recognize them anymore, something he's starting to find too common in his family. He would stop asking about what they've been doing or what his father was having them do, he was understanding the reality now. He just didn't want to acknowledge it and wonder how much blood they had on their hands.
Right before he runs away he'd seclude himself from them, slowly, a move that's pretty obvious, in hopes to prepare himself emotionally before he takes off. Similar to a cat hiding away before it passes. He doesn't tell either of them how he truly feels or how fucked up things have gotten not because he doesn't want to, but because he can't trust them anymore. And it makes him grieve. He does end up stealing a few of their keepsakes before he leaves, to look at whenever he's feeling particularly lonely.
Matvey doesn't think he can separate his cousins as enemies, or hurt either of them. As he still believes there is a chance at redemption. Despite being on opposite sides, he still cares for them deeply, something he would be called naive for. Any confrontation presently would likely be as angsty and soul-crushing like you'd expect it to be.
SOOO... I decided to draw the three as to what I think they would've looked like as young'uns(they should be 10-11 years old here.) Kita gets an emo haircut along with a sonic hoodie and Kolya gets a much more relaxed fit. They are so adorable honestly. (Context for the photo is that Matvey won his first junior gymnastics competition and the twins came to see him compete(Nikita will get in trouble if he doesn't hug for the photo.)
They are my babies now srry (ง •̀_•́)ง @applbottmjeens

How would the Zakhaev twins respond to my oc Matvey's presence? And how would their opinions on him change over time given the context of him running away from the ultranationalist cause, if he ever had a true place in it to begin with? (BTW your art is amazing <3) - @jok3ster
Ah, I took a peek into Matvey! an interesting story if they grew up with the twins in any way, too.
If Matvey was Vladimir's son/raised mostly in his custody, the twins would definitely be close to him (although Nikita is a bit of a jerk) and be doted on by their mother, Oksana.
Depending on how far into the sort of brainwashing Nikolaj is...I can either see him constantly trying to convince him to come back and "surrender peacefully and the consequences won't be too harsh.."
or he's gonna be the one straight up hunting him down.
Same thing with Nikita, who isn't all into the extremist movement as much when he was first starting off, but as he grew older became kinda used to the power and prestige that came with it.
The overall census is: You betray the cause, you betray the family. Blood will be paid with blood, and Kolya is not known for his mercy- especially if we consider a scenario where they're raised side by side: it's a crabs in a bucket type of mentality.
"Why should you get to leave? why do you think you can escape?"
It doesn't mean he won't cry after he succeeds, though.

Do you have any more trivia to share on the Zakhaev twins? (Also on a different note, what are your opinions on collabs between other oc's, etc?)
I very much do!
Fun fact: as of MW3, the twins are around 18-19 and have probably worked under Yuri at some point with the idea that both of them would eventually join Konni group and the ultranationalist cause now that they were "of age!"
I'm just imagining the boys now following their Uncle V around like two puppies, his perfect little snipers whom our late friend Ivan didn't think too highly of. (he thought Kolya was a bit weird and "off" and Kita was a bit of a brat.)
I love collaborating with other people's ocs! it's how I've made some amazing friends and possibly building stories together is so fun for me.
I've got so much unwritten and still planned for the twins. On and Off canon. <3
Seriously though all this Zakhaev Twins love is making me so happy!

moodbard: pov you're dating a zakhaev twin (and what that's like)
Kolya is shy. He's never really been someone's love interest because growing up most people found him creepy, and there was alot of encouragement from his mentors to embrace the numbness and asocial demeanor to make him better at what they wanted him to do. You'd probably be his first partner at all. He's insecure. He's awkward. He gets angry and then blacks out and worries that one day he'll get mad at you, blink and then see your corpse on the floor. He's constantly afraid you'll see him for who he is- someone disturbed and easily manipulated by those he cares for.
He's good at killing. It's protecting he sucks at. But he'd try for you. He'd be your guard dog. He'll get on his knees and let you make him cry if it means you'll praise him, and tell him he's good.
He's horribly desperate for companionship that isn't just his brother.
Kita is a playboy. He made alot of girls cry and broke a lot of hearts without meaning to. It's a miracle he never got a girl pregnant. And if he likes you enough you'll get to see just how caring he is for his family, and why he's never really been in anything longterm- he's horrible with communicating his disdain. he rarely takes accountability and he's emotionally checked out.
But damn it, if he isn't good at winning you over again and somehow getting you back on his bed...
(something to stave off some creativity while i finish up their spicy art sets)

Kita was a troublemaker and heartbreaker in his youth, popular amongst his peers and always involving his more introverted and sensitive twin. He was a massive momma's boy and will lash out at anyone speaking ill will of her- even his own father and stepmother.
He enjoyed sneaking vapes and cigarettes and skating when he was younger, with his favorite game being Sonic growing up, often fighting with Kolya over who got to play next.
Everything this young charlatan does is with a grin and a wit, ale to coax answers out of someone without the other even knowing (in comparison to Kolya, who prefers the direct approach of "torture until they talk.)
All in all he fears one day he will lose Kolya to the whims of Perseus and their uncle's plans- whatever it may be...
