Russian Revolution is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to protagonist Niko Bellic by Russian mobster Dimitri Rascalov via phone call after completing The Master and the Molotov.
This mission introduces the player to large scale shootouts and briefs on the cover system and blind fire.
Description[]
After Niko and Dimitri agree to meet around the back of an abandoned warehouse in East Hook to collect the payment for Faustin's assassination. Little Jacob calls Niko to express his suspicion of Dimitri's motives and insists on joining Niko as backup in case the deal turns sour.
Niko meets up with Jacob around the back of the warehouse. Jacob will supervise the deal from a distance outside the warehouse whilst Niko enters to meet with Dimitri. When he enters, however, he sees Dimitri with Ray Bulgarin, a people smuggler Niko worked with in Eastern Europe, until he escaped in a botched trafficking operation.
Niko pleads his innocence to Bulgarin, though Bulgarin ignores Niko and claims that Niko betrayed him in the botched deal. As Niko is unable to repay what was owed to Bulgarin, Bulgarin orders that Niko be killed, and a member of the Russian Mafia attempts to slit Niko's throat. However, Niko fights back and is soon joined in the warehouse by Jacob.
Eventually, once enough thugs have been killed, a cutscene will show Dimitri and Ray escaping. Niko kills the remaining thugs and escapes to the back of the warehouse, where the LCPD will be waiting for the player. Niko and Jacob then enter the latter's Virgo that is parked nearby, or steal one of the police cars, and flee. After losing the police, Niko takes Jacob back to the Homebrew Café whilst both swear revenge against Dimitri.
After Niko drops Jacob off, he phones his cousin Roman to inform him of Dimitri's betrayal.

Trivia[]
- The mission's name is a reference to the Russian Revolution of 1917.
- In the introductory phone call for the mission, Dimitri will tell Niko to meet him "at the warehouse on Mohanet in Downtown Broker". In the game however, the warehouse in question is located in East Hook, and Mohanet Avenue does not pass through Downtown Broker. This might be a developer oversight.
- Even though this mission is given by Dimitri Rascalov, the game stats consider it to be the last mission for Mikhail Faustin.
- Taking Little Jacob's Virgo parked outside the warehouse is not required to lose the cops. The player can use one of the police cars instead if desired.
- It is unknown how Little Jacob found out about the deal between Niko and Dimitri.
