Cold Call...

Bond visits the Surface level (in Severnaya, Northern Siberia) twice during the game...
In "Surface 1" one of the main objectives is to power down the dish via the computer terminal.

As a clever twist to thwart the player, when Bond returns to Severnaya in "Surface 2" activating the console will fail the mission.
Russians typically speak English among themselves...
As we learned from watching Boris and Natalya in the GoldenEye movie.


The objective this time round is to destroy the equipment.
Activating the console (by pressing "B") on "Surface 2" results in an officer appearing on screen and alerting the guards.
Why you disturb me while I eat my cereal?


It could even be considered an Easter egg because it's actually David Doak that portrays the Russian on the screen (or at least a couple frames of him repeated over and over).

"Boring conversation anyway..."



Now Bond is suddenly pondering if Doak assisted in the "fake death" of Alec Trevelyan at the Chemical Facility all those years ago.

Cloak and dagger state of mind indeed...
