Vasiliy's going to be identifiable as an EMT because he will be in uniform when this transpires, and he's going to accompany those trying to go on rescue operations. He'll do his best to offer emergency care and will have his kit bag on him - as well as his gun, a regain from December and an authentic Purge-era Soviet weapon.

If he encounters your character and sees that they're able to offer even basic first aid, he'll try to tell them to go help x person, depending on their skill level; those who have met him may note that this is a pretty drastic swing in personality from the quiet non-leader that's been seen around the neighborhood. He's going to triage any wounded people he encounters; if your character was kidnapped and you'd like to opt in to have him write an indicator on their arm, forehead, what have you, ranging from 1-5 or X, hmu.

If he has a chance to fire his weapon, characters could possibly notice that:
A) his aim is clearly trained and not just a natural, unhoned talent
B) there is a Soviet star and the year 1937 engraved on the frame of the gun
and
C) he shoots with one hand and doesn't cradle the bottom of the grip with his non-dominant hand like most modern shooters would.

It's also possible for those who encounter him to notice that his facial expression doesn't really change, nor does his body language, when he's first confronted with assorted highly graphic sights. What they do with that observation is, ofc, up to you.

He will be defaulting to Russian and letting the world's translate do its thing so that he can direct his full attention to the crisis at hand. Because of that, characters will be able to hear the anachronistic way in which he speaks - his tone/pitch/patterns of inflection will transfer to whatever people in the 1930s sounded like in your character's culture, if they're from our world.
