Rainbow Six[]
In 1999 three terrorists attacks had been foiled by the newly formed Rainbow. With three attacks being too much of a coincidence in such a short time span, John Clark sought to contact Golovko to gain information on any former KGB agent with the ability to orchestrate these attacks.
The Bear and the Dragon[]
While on his way to work in Moscow in 2002, a white armored Mercedes that was identical to the one he was in was shot with RPG-7, killing the occupants inside. An investigation of the incident by Russian police and intelligence officers pointed to the involvement of Chinese intelligence and suggested that Golovko was the real target. After the failed attempt on the SVR director's life, the Chinese later plotted to assassinate the Russian president, but their agent, also a former KGB officer, was arrested by the FSB.
