I remember reading a little bit about the language tutors used by the NASA crew of Apollo Soyuz to help them get a start on comprehending the language since they agreed to speak Russian while Leonov and Kubasov would speak English during training. But does anyone have names for the tutors themselves? I remember seeing footage from Moonshot of Deke being coached one on one by a single tutor and I am curious if all three members had a single tutor or if they had a group for individual study? I am also curious as to if anyone has information as to the current whereabouts of some of these tutors (or if they are even alive today).

Thanks in advance.

Two names that I found are Nina Horner and James Flannery. I have no idea how to contact them...

Thanks Ed. This is a start and I can take it from here. Of course if anyone else has any other information, feel free to chime in.

Anatole Forostenko was the name of another one. He lives in New York City last I heard.
