Harvey Moiseiwitsch Volodarskii (ハーヴェイ・モイセイェヴィチ・ヴォロダールスキー, Haavi Moiseievichi Vorodaarusukii) is a character in the video game No More Heroes. He is a Russian assassin and stage magician who gives shows for large audiences; his age is unknown. He is ranked fourth in the United Assassins Association. Sylvia Christel and Travis Touchdown attend one of Volodarskii's performances, where he selects Touchdown from the audience to assist him onstage. A brief conversation between the two reveals for the first time during the game that Touchdown's parents are dead. Volodarskii's assistants restrain a willing Touchdown under a large circular saw in an attempt to kill him before the Ranking Battle, but Touchdown manages to escape the trap. Volodarskii fights using two beam kodachi, the Magic Double Saber, as well as several of his magic tricks, which include teleportation, summonign of doves, the ability to turn the stage upside down and also to restrain touchdown in a bobby trapped box in which he has to escape. In the end, Volodarskii is blinded when Touchdown throws his beam katana across his eyes, after which his own associates restrain him and and he is sliced in half vertically by the same saw that was used against Touchdown earlier in the night. His battle theme is Violectrolysis.
