St. Petersburg Revisited is the 20th and penultimate mission of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. 47 has returned to his garden shed after dealing with the cult in India. But now, his next assignment requires him to return to St. Petersburg, Russia and deal with Sergei Zavorotko once and for all.
Target:
- Sergei Zavorotko
Mission briefing[]
TV Report on Sergei Zavorotko's stolen nuclear arms
47 — this is Diana. There's been an unexpected turn of events involving our recurring client, Sergei Zavorotko. It appears that he is the terrorist whose nuclear arms got stolen by the Indian cult.
The UN has reasons to believe that Sergei is dealing in vast amount of nuclear and chemical arms.
The UN has no mandate to handle such contingencies - but they still want to eliminate this world terrorist, so this is where we come into the picture.
It's very much against our principles to perform a hit on a former customer — but considering the potential business from the UN, we're making an exception in this case.
And since you already know the area - and you are our top performer in the trade - we have chosen you to carry out this mission.
Sergei is still occupying the same office in St. Petersburg, where you carried out the first mission for us, coming out from retirement.
He's very paranoid by now - check your map, refresh your memory and retrace your steps there.
Upon arrival with the metro you will find your equipment in locker # 137 at the station. Your escape route is returning with the train.
47, I repeat — take out our former client Sergei Zavorotko in his office on the 2nd floor in the Zaitsev building on Pushkin Plaza - same place, same procedure — good luck!
Description[]
When 47 gets out of the train, he goes outside to the building where Sergei is meant to be, but instead he finds Agent 17. You can sneak to him with a fiber wire and kill him. 47 picks 17's earpiece where Sergei is heard on it talking. He tells 47 that he kidnapped Vittorio and 47 tells him to keep Vittorio out of this, then he throws away the earpiece.
Objectives[]
- Kill Sergei Zavorotko (gets cancelled later)
- Kill Agent 17
- Escape to the metro
Weapons[]
- Dragunov SVD - Inside locker #137 (Agency Pickup) Uniquely fires blanks in this mission. Only affects Agency Pickup SVDs.
- Desert Eagle - Carried by most of the guards
- SP12 - Carried by some of the guards
- W2000 Sniper - Carried by Mr. 17
(Although the player is not allowed to choose any weapons for this mission besides the default fiber wire, it is possible to replay the mission with any previously collected weapons once 47 completes it for the first time).
Disguises[]
- Red Jumpsuit: Arouses Suspicion.
- Brown Civilian Outfit: Arouses Suspicion.
- Zavorotko's Bodyguard Outfit: Can carry some weapons but guards recognise 47 easily.
- Agent 17's Suit: Useful initially, but guards recognise 47 later on, even if his body isn't found. The guards in the sewer and guarding the metro recognise 47 at any time, even if the body hasn't been found.
Others[]

Civilians
Rats

Trivia[]
- If the player zooms at the 2nd floor window in the Pushkin building where Sergei is supposed to be, they'll find out that there's a decoy in his place in the form of a cardboard cutout, which is a lighthearted joke in an otherwise dark game.
- The ammunition for any agency pickup sniper has been switched with blanks. Any SVD sniper acquired within mission will only fire blanks, regardless of fresh ammunition. SVDs brought into the mission, and blank firers taken outside of the mission are not affected.
- Given the fact that a cardboard cutout of Sergei is present in the mission, 47's SVD has been tampered with, as well as many mercenaries including Agent 17, this likely means the UN never contacted the ICA for the hit on a former client and this was a trap set up by Sergei anyway.
