[edit] History
The Russians had a short-lived Stargate program after they found one among the debris of an Asgard mothership that had crashed in the Pacific Ocean [1]. However the program was stopped after their gate unintentionally disrupted the existence of a planet populated by sentient water [2] and instead Col. Chekov was assigned as Russia's liaison to Stargate Command. He first appeared when SG-1, together with a Russian team, went on a mission which went awry and was survived by SG-1 but only one Russian [3]. Among the deceased was Colonel Zukov, a good friend of Chekov; Chekov blamed SG-1 for the death of the team. He appeared two months later when Teal'c was trapped in the Stargate; to free him the SGC required a DHD, one of which Russia possessed, and with the SGC Stargate inoperable while Teal'c was trapped, the SGC needed Russia's permission to use their Stargate to bring the current offworld teams home. After the US agreed to give Russia the technology to build their own Naqahdah generator, Colonel Chekov loaned them the Russian DHD but became furious when the device was destroyed during the rescue operation (Albeit unintentionally) [4].
Around the time when Anubis attacked the SGC with an Ancient weapon, Colonel Chekov was appointed to be the Russian envoy to the SGC. He became angry when he discovered that the SGC had neglected to disclose to Russia information regarding all of the technology they had obtained through the use of the Stargate, particularly the designs and related technologies for the X-302. When it became clear that the Stargate would be destroyed by Anubis' attack, Chekov agreed to let the US have access to the Russian Stargate, but later agreed to give it to the US after the US agreed to pay Russia and give them the X-302 technology, as well as their own SG team [5] (He also attemtped to have a Russian appointed to SG-1 to replace the currently-Ascended Daniel Jackson, but Jack O'Neill selected Jonas Quinn instead).
Later in the same year when the US disclosed the existence of the Stargate to other countries, Colonel Chekov accompanied General Hammond and Major Paul Davis while they presented the program to French, British and Chinese ambassadors. He also convinced the ambassadors to permit the US to retain control over the Stargate, but privately tells the Chinese ambassador that they could have significant technological advantages with the Stargate [6].
Approximately two years later, Colonel Chekov revealed to Brigadier General O'Neill that Russia believed that the US government had been compromised and was being controlled by a Goa'uld and thus the two countries were on the brink of nuclear war. It turned out that a high ranking Russian General Kiselyev was host to a Goa'uld and he was stopped due to Colonel Chekov's cooperation [7], although it was also revealed that ex-Vice-President Robert Kinsey had also become a Goa'uld host.
After the Russians blackmailed the American government into giving them a Daedalus class battlecruiser [8], the Korolev, Chekov was put in command. The ship was sent to stop the Ori fleet from invading the Milky Way. [9] The Korolev was destroyed in the Battle of P3Y-229, but 6 crewmembers and Daniel Jackson were able to escape from the ship. It is unknown whether Chekov was among the six, or among the dead. [10]
