Yuri Olkhovsky, life-long commentator on Russia, has died. He worked at the NSA, Defense Department, Radio Liberty, Voice of America (WP) (thanks, MK). No word on whether this Cold Warrior ever returned to the territory of the former USSR after he and his parents were put in a camp in Germany in 1941. Maybe not: until quite recently it happened that some Soviet emigrés devoted their lives to the analysis of a country they would never re-visit.
