I'm pretty sure the Black Widow movie at least features flashbacks to the 80s.Just rewatched the movie. It's 43.Zola was Americanised under (real life) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip" target="_blank">Operation Paperclip</a> (TWS), which would mean he was working for the American government from 1946 onwards. That's before the foundation of SHIELD.Also in TWS, Rogers concludes that Zola had been experimenting on Bucky when he rescued him, and that is what enabled him to survive the fall. Bucky has flashbacks that seem to imply Zola was involved after he became the Winter Soldier, although this could just be his addled memories. Zola died in the 1970s.Sure, but they continued to experiment on his blood after the freed him. Nagel says as much.</blockquote>
