Named after / based on: Василий Александрович Архипов (Wassili Alexandrowitsch Archipow)
A possible namesake is Vasily Arkhipov (1926-1998), the Soviet naval officer who is credited with preventing a nuclear torpedo launch from submarine B-59 during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. He was too young to have served as a soldier in the game's setting, so this is only a tentative match.
This match is not confirmed, the name may be a coincidence.
