And I kept wondering: who is this text about? So that’s what it was. Now I can see that the first letters of each paragraph spell out O-L-E-G-M-I-T-V-O-L As Parkhomenko quite rightly notes, of course we never really thought that this fighter against shashlik joints (barbecue restaurants) was a genuine Doctor of Sciences.

On top of that, all nine dissertations where our “environmentalist” served as either academic advisor or official opponent were stolen too. What really tops off this story are Mitvol’s explanations: “It’s just a peculiarity of my memory,” Oleg Lvovich Mitvol said. “I read a great many other people’s dissertations on the topic that interested me, and a lot of it stayed in my head. From there it made its way onto paper—in exactly that order. What can I do about it?” Read it here: http://cook.livejournal.com/257221.html I love this sort of thing, and I want to remind you that it was Mitvol who demanded that ‘People’s Alliance’ not be registered and filed lawsuits against us because we had supposedly “stolen the name.”
