This page includes a transcript of Time Shift, the first Soviet mission of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 - Yuri's Revenge.[1]
Introduction[]
Zofia: Comrade General, it is pleasant to see you again, even under these circumstances. The traitor Yuri has activated two of his Psychic Dominator devices. Cities around the world are falling under his power. However, we have discovered a plan by the Americans to alter the events of the past few hours. [Receives transmission] Stand by comrade, I am receiving an encrypted message from a secured wavelength.
Transmission switches to Romanov, who is currently imprisoned at the Tower of London.
Alexander Romanov: It's good to see a loyal face, Comrade General. However, there is little time. Allies are getting new technology for travelling backward in time. The Americans plan to use this machine to go back in early in war. There, they will destroy Yuri's Psychic Dominator devices before they can be completed. Comrade General, if you can capture this American time machine, we might have opportunity to change history and assure Soviet victory! The fate of Soviet Union, of entire world rests in your hands!
Sounds of prison guards approaching are heard.
Romanov: Oh, I must go. Comrade Zofia has recorded message to give this to my past self. До свидания, Comrade General.

Trapped in the Cretaceous[]
- Incoming transmission...
- Zofia: We have escaped into the past, Comrade General. But I am afraid that our superior Soviet engineers increased the efficiency of the American power plants too much. We have arrived more than 65 million years in the past. Stand by Comrade while we attempt another time shift.
[Objective: Defend the Time Machine until it can be reactivated.]
- If Rexy is found on the northwest island
- [Rexy is trapped! Won't you help him?]

[Objective Complete]

- Zofia added thoughts before attempting the time shift
- Zofia: We should find Boris when we arrive in the past, so we can avoid his dark future.
Objective 4[]
- Incoming transmission...
- Zofia: Well done Comrade General. We have arrived at our destination.
Zofia: We would not had have another chance. We have arrived at San Francisco at the time of the first Soviet occupation. The Psychic Dominator is still under construction on Alcatraz Island. You must subdue Yuri's forces and get Boris, our special commando, within sighting range of the device. Once there he will be able to call in an airstrike.
Zofia: Commander, if my records are correct, there should be an established Soviet base in the area during this time period. Find it and assume command.
- On a player assumed command on Soviet base
- Zofia: Good, we have assumed command of this base, now build up a strike force and destroy the Psychic Dominator.

Zofia: No, no of course not, it is just good that you are well.
