Nikolai Kirikov (Russian: Николай Кириков) is a major American-based Russian criminal who headed The Collective and the Kirikov Bratva.
A career criminal in the Soviet Union, Nikolai escaped to Vice City right before communism collapsed.
History
2010s
In 2015, Nikolai shifted part of his empire to New Zealand, purchasing a vast 477-acre property in a secluded part of the South Island. There, he began construction on a expensive bunker-like lodge, rumored to be both a lavish retreat and a fortified headquarters for his operations in the Pacific region. This move to New Zealand marked his expansion into Oceania, cementing his reputation as an untouchable and strategic criminal mastermind and allowed him to have a "vacation spot".
Amidst the FIB's investigation on Russian interference over US politics, especially during the 2016 Presidential election, Nikolai aborted his return to Vice City and decided to avoid the searchlight by settling permanently in New Zealand. He continued to command the Collective through a private communication network. The lack of physical presence inspired numerous members to plot against Nikolai and his business partners.

Trivia
- Nikolai purchasing a bunker in New Zealand is a trope billionaires are known to do.
