Season 3
When Kosygin first arrives in Oz, Antonio Nappa attempts to befriend him but Kosgyin rebuffs Nappa, putting him immediately at odds with the Italians. Chucky Pancamo approaches fellow Russian inmate Nikolai Stanislofsky to strong-arm him into apologizing for the insult. Stanislofsky tells Pancamo that Kosygin has no allegiance to him, and that the former hitman's ethnic group, the Cossacks, were widely feared in Russia, specifically by Jews.
Fellow inmate Ryan O'Reily pays Kosygin to kill William Cudney in order to keep Cudney silent about O'Reilly spiking the water in a prison boxing tournament. Stanislofsky knows of O'Reilly's plot, and tells Pancamo that Kosygin spiked his water before a boxing match as a means of having the Italians eliminate him. At O'Reilly's suggestion, Pancamo tells Kosygin that Stanislofsky informed Pancamo of his involvement as a means of getting Kosygin sent to death row without the Italians being suspect. He then waits until he and Stanislofsky are alone in the library and attempts to kill him with the sharpened temple pieces of his eyeglasses. Stanislofsky survives, and Kosygin is sent to the hole, then to Oz's segregated unit for the rest of his life.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“When I read a story, I relive the moment from which it sprang. A scene burned itself into me, a building magnetized me, a mood or season of Nature’s penetrated me, history suddenly appeared to me in some tiny act, or a face had begun to haunt me before I glanced at it.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
