...their child's birth certificate and other documents. In Russia that is vital, for a Russian takes his father's first name as his middle name and is commonly addressed by his own first name plus the patronymic.

Belishchenko takes pains to allay Swiss fears that Moscow will use the bank to dump gold and otherwise disrupt the tiny nation's financial ties to other...
...PETR NIKOLAEVICH DEMICHEV, 46, Secretariat member and chief overseer of Russia's chemical and light industries, was elevated to alternate Presidium membership. A dandy with high-piled hair and a low-keyed manner, Demichev is a chemical engineer by training, shared with Kosygin the responsibility for developing the consumer-goods industry, which Khrushchev chose to emphasize late in his career. Demichev's promotion is an indication of the continued importance Moscow's new regime attaches to chemicals and consumer goods, no heavy-industry "metal eater" was promoted...
