*****GK: Just a comment in passing. Thanks to "Soviet
nationalities policy" Russians now have inherited a
lot of -enkos and -iaks, while Ukrainians sport lots
of -ins and -ovs. You can't easily tell who's who (if
you care to know such things) except via knowledge of
the person in question. 
 
I'm not good at physiognomy, but he looks like an Ukrainian to me :) .
