That is a non-sequiter Taylor. Research and its presentation are 2 seperate
items, with no necessary causal link.
But its interesting that you raise the subject right now - didn't you cite
Averbakh verbatim, without knowing if he was, or was not a member of the
KGB, or a proxy agent, or to whom he was requitred to report? Is there
something you would like to establish in any of these shades?
Maybe you have some level of understanding of what any minor soviet-era
oligarch would be required to report, and to whom?

Innes's question. Thanks for the misrepresentation Taylor.
Go ahead, snip my whole day, Phil Innes
