Possible Soviet Missile Disaster reed, in separate obituaries, Naymush n~;and~ a' oon n- ol atko died suddenly 'ah,,ovem er 'rformance of duties." Naymushin was chief of the KGB Directorate for Kras- nodar Kray. Bolyatko's obituary identified him as chief of an un- s.pec.ified 'central directorate of the USSR Defense Ministry and credited him with development of new missile equipment. Bolyatko's association with mis- sile programs can be inferred from his having signed the obit- uary in October 1960 of Marshal Nedelin, who as learned later was killed in a missile explosion. Bolyatko's own obituary was signed by many high officials, including Brezhnev and Ye. P. Slaysky, who heads the missile- related Ministry of Medium Ma-A-1) chine Building. Although Bolyatko allegedly was killed in an auto accident, the Soviet press is notorious for concealing the true nature of catastrophes, as in Nedelin's case, where he was al- leged to have died in an air accident.
