Wait... you met Zinoviev? My prof in logic at the institute of philosophy at Humboldt University - with the quite special name Horst Wessel, but never forget about the arbitrariness of the sign and the danger or equivocation - made his doctor in Zinovievs group in Moscow, others in the Institute studied there and took part in the effort to translate Zinovievs logical works into german.

In the first half of the nineties, when the old man, then living in Munich, seemed to be forgotten in Russia and the West, Wessel invited him a few times. There was a symposium on occasion of Zinovievs 70th birthday - in some way too a "bye bye" of the Berlin group logic research group, wich was dispersed after the "unification". So I met Zinoviev.

Later he moved back to Moscow and got there a last chance for builiding an sect around him. In Berlin we were interested in logic and never cared about disputing his views too, and he - in this time - accepted serious discussion. The only point he was uneasy about was the "moskovsky methodologicesky krushok" and his long gone friendship with Evald Ilyenkov.
