Nikolai Zinoviev/notes


 * In the novelization of Resident Evil: Apocalypse, author Keith R.A. DeCandido changes Nicholai's surname to "Sokolov.
 * Although "Ginovaef" is not actually a Slavic name, its pronunciation in Russian is the same as the real name "Zinoviev", leading one to believe that this was a translation error on the part of the game's translator in an attempt to romanize the name based on pronunciation. As with "Laboratory"'s routine translation to "Research Facility" and "Oswell" to "Ozwell", it can be assumed that one localization team copied another.
 * Nicholai is the only major character of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis to not appear in any FMVs.
 * In Russian translation of Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Nicholai's name was changed to "Nicholai Zhukov/ Николай Жуков".
 * Nicholai and Mikhail were originally intended to be brothers with Nicholai as the younger and darker of the two.
 * In recently released REORC footage, his name is spelled Genovaef in the subtitles.
