occasionally have a temper, but only when something went wrong or he felt
that members of staff were not performing to the high standards that he
set. But he was always ready to praise someone when he thought they
deserved it. Most of all, everyone on the staff respected him.
Vova was very proud of 'his' Monitoring Service, and was never slow to
tell visitors some of his favourite stories of what BBCMS had
accomplished. His favourite was what happened as the 1962 Cuban missile
crisis reached its climax. Russian president Nikita Khrushchev broadcast
his effective capitulation on a domestic radio channel in the early hours
of the morning Moscow time. Vova was convinced that Khrushchev knew that
it would be monitored by the BBC. The message was relayed instantly to the
White House, which thanked BBCMS and said it had not yet received the
official communication via diplomatic channels.
A full obituary, giving an account of Vova's earlier life and work, is in
the Daily Telegraph.
It's strange, but even though I left the Monitoring Service 34 years ago,
I feel as if I have lost a friend. R.I.P.
