...time when New Hampshire primary voters were heading for the polls, a pleasantly round-faced woman economist named Zinaida Vladimirova Baturina waited for a trolleybus outside the Moscow office building where she works. It was 5 p.m. in the Soviet capital, and the orange glow of twilight hung in the western sky. Twenty minutes later Zinaida Vladimirova reached her destination, a neighborhood campaign office. She had promised to put in an evening's work as an agitator (local volunteer) in the windup of this week's election of 1,500 deputies to the Supreme Soviet. As she settled...
...equally unsparing of Pasternak's wife Zinaida, who died in 1966. But she does cite some of Pasternak's letters to third parties that are full of praise for Zinaida: "I owe my life to her," the writer declared after a long illness.

Glim mer's teammate, Ulrich Wehling, skis and jumps consistently...
...ancient Russian Orthodox city of Kiev, where he promptly sends himself to hell by passing as a gentile. In scenes that seem to have emerged from the mainstream of Russian literature, Lebedev (Hugh Griffith), a rabid anti-Semite, makes Bok a trusted employee until Lebedev's daughter Zinaida (Elizabeth Hartman) falsely accuses the fixer of rape. The recriminatory shriek becomes a chorus when religious fanatics also accuse Bok of ritual murder. The fixer is seized and imprisoned. The . machinery of the state begins: moved by a heritage of hate, it tries to grind the fixer to dust...
...Died. Zinaida Pasternak, 69, second wife of the late Boris Pasternak, who married the author in the early 1930s, and may or may not (no one will say) have had access to the rich Swiss bank account set up for Pasternak's heirs by the Italian publisher of Doctor Zhivago; of cancer; in Moscow...
