Загоризонтная эпопея (VKO journal, on the over-the-horizon saga)

Russian air-and-space-defence journal retrospective (‘The Over-the-Horizon Epic’): the Shtyren prehistory and his removal for refusing to build before the research was done, Kuzminsky’s 1964 arrival at NIIDAR as chief engineer - described as one of the most talented students of Raspletin - the detail that colleagues called him simply ‘Sasha’ instead of the foreign-sounding Franz, and the 1970 rise of the experimental antennas designed by Vasyukov, Grishin, Shustov, Strelkin and Barayev.
