Talk:Yevgeny Primakov

message: The rumour persists (www.prisonplanet.com/articles/december2004/061204wolfhired.htm eg]) that he was hired by DHS, for TIPS or CAPPS II; but Iserbyt believed that is disinformation to hide his working for "OIA" (IAO?). Kwantus 20:38, 2005 Jan 9 (UTC)

message: In his recent book "Russian Crossroads" (2004, Yale University Press) Primakov dismisses speculations claiming that his original name was Finkelshtein. "Later I learned that in other files I was called Finkelshtein. In this case I was completely at a loss - where did that come from?" (p. 17). Perhaps we should correct the entry here?
Is that a dismissal? Pretty easy to parse this as a disingenuous non-denial: "I "read" that someone suggested my name was Finkelshtein; I wonder why they'd say that?" instead of "It is simply not true that I was born "Finkelshtein"". Being suspected of having Jewish roots remains something of a stigma in Russia, and there's nothing in it for him to give credence to the claim. That said, it is probably something that should be reported as nothing more than a rumor.
:I removed the "Finkelshtein" part. There seems to be no verification of this from either official or unofficial sources. The only source that sites this name is at http://www.jewwatch.com/jew-leaders-ussr-pm-yevgeny-primakov.html which is an amateur website at best. There are two facts which might explain the name's origins: (a) the father's identity has never been established, but the latest rumors seem to point to Irakli Andronikov (Ираклий Андроников), which seems Armenian. (b) A possible origin of this name was a discreditation campaign, as an article had been printed in a Russian newspaper in '92 which accused Primakov of working for Mossad (which, coupled with a Jewish nationality, would undermine his support, especially when working in intelligence).

thread_title:  Primakov's original name 

message: The assertion is made by US News and World Report in September 1998  , as well as by  the New York Times.  Further the assertion s made at MSN Encarta.  
I would have to go to the library and pay to access full articles, but the following sources also seem to make the assertion on first glance.  Philadelphia Inquirer 9-11-98
Jerusalem Post 3-28-99
The sources all all older, but its hard to argue that there are absolutely no sources other than hate sites.  TastyPoutine talk (if you dare) 18:23, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Re-opening a can of worms - His name

message: Please check the his edit here and on other Russia related topic. I have no idea about validity but he has habit to put "claims" w/o source on Marc Rich page, so I got bit suspicious. Pavel Vozenilek 04:15, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What this user keeps adding to the article here is sheer nonsense, not even a bad joke.  I checked some of the last edits by  and while some of them look sensible, some appear nonsense and some are self-reverts. - Introvert ~? 07:05, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Quote:
The belief that Russia lost its capacity to engage in this kind of long-term action together with the fall of Communism is incorrect. A more thorough analysis shows that ‘the Marxist scientific worldview’ was very quickly replaced by a ‘geopolitical scientific worldview’ and, as during the Cold War, this concept was raised to the rank of an official doctrine of foreign and security policy. This geopolitical image of a world embedded in the civilisational framework lay at the heart of the ‘Primakov doctrine’ formulated in the 1990s....
