According to the intro, Dyatlenko lived until 1996, but the narrative ends (abruptly) in 1943. What happened (other than "he was an author") in the following 50+ years? And do we know more than two sentences' worth of his earlier life? -- Piledhigheranddeeper ( talk) 13:55, 16 March 2010 (UTC) reply

Unless you speak Russian it's very hard to find out anything further about the man. Ericoides ( talk) 10:07, 30 March 2010 (UTC) reply
