Like if Tekken 8 came out tomorrow, would Dragunov be in it? The same kinda goes for Zangief from Street Fighter, though he's more of just a big hairy wrestleman and not specifically portrayed as a member of the Russian military.
I presume playing as the Soviets is going to be off the table in any WWII game now.
