Continuing Ferment in the Aviation Bureaucracy
Personnel developments at higher levels of the
aviation bureaucracy. continue to reflect both the
premium being placed on the pursuit of Western
technology and a greater concern with air safety.
A US government official reported last week
that M. S. Mikhaylov has been serving as acting
minister of the aviation industry during recent
meetings with Americans; Minister P. V. Dementyev
was apparently absent because of illness. This

succeeded to the post of first deputy, vacated in
November 1974 upon the death of S. I. Kadyshev.
Another frequent US visitor and contact, Deputy
Minister V. A. Kazakov, had earlier been rumored
to be Kadyshev's successor.
On the civil aviation front, a US official
in Montreal learned in late March that A. F.
Borisov has been named deputy in charge of a new

sole responsibility for the application of com-
puters to aviation. The embassy believes that

the mast likely candidate far the job is Tatyana
Anodina, the head of the ministry's new Electronics
Administration and a key participant in ongoing
negotiations with US firms for the acquisition of
American air traffic control technology. Anodina
is the wife of Minister of the Radice Industry P. S.
