The true name of this game, in Russian, is spelled "ликвидатор" I believe. If the Moby Games entry is to bear it's name as translated to English, the spelling should be corrected from "Likvidator" to "Liquidator". According to Google Translate, "Likvidator" would be the Swedish spelling of "ликвидатор".

When there is no English title and the Russian spelling is the only thing to go by, we use transliteration from Cyrillic to Latin, not a translation. Someone who has Russian as a native language may be able to weigh in if there is a mistake here.

[/Q --end Sciere wrote--] It would certainly be beneficial to have native Russian speakers weigh in for sure, although another hint that suggests that the title should be "Liquidator" is by looking at the name of the game's exe file, which is: LIQUID.EXE.

Ah... This should probably be all of the confirmation required. In the CD ROM's root folder, there is a file named DATA.TAG which contains the following information:
[TagInfo]
Company=Alex & Aigo
Application=Liquidator
Version=1.00.000
Category=Development Tool
Misc=
