18. General Georgi Koskov



Evil deeds: While the main villain of the Living Daylights can be debated, General Georgi Koskov claims the spot on the countdown over his cohort in evil Brad Whitaker. Koskov (Jeroen Krabbe)beats Whitaker due to his weasel like actions and deceitful scheme. Koskov pretends to defect from the Soviet Union to the English and acts like he will give them information to aid the English in winning the Cold war. Koskov and Whitaker are collaborating in a plan to eliminate British and American spies. Koskov also gets villain points for attempting to kill his own mistress and using her as an innocent tool in his grand scheme. Koskov is a deceitful double crosser who will use anybody to achieve his own goals.

Hurting His Cause: Koskov splits villain duties with Brad Whitaker. Therefore he receives half of the hatred as a normal villain. Also Koskov's plan to kill all spies does not threaten the general public like almost every other Bond villain's plot.
