Question #90. From 1926 to 1990 I was a symbol of Soviet science and knowledge, I followed party line in all time. Putin gave me second chance. I am great, but not as my British colleague. I had 14 younger sisters, all of them speaking different languages. Tell me why? -

Point to Christophe! A memory of the canal is also preserved in the Russian language, in the words "zeka", "zek, z/k" for "inmate". In Russian, "inmate", "incarcerated" isзаключённый (zakliuchyonnyi), usually abbreviated to з/к in paperwork, and pronounced as зэка ("zeh-KA"), which gradually transformed into зэк andзек ("zek"). The word is still in colloquial use. Originally the abbreviation stood for zaklyuchyonny kanaloarmeyets (заключённый каналоармеец), literally "incarcerated canal-army-man". (from Wikipedia) -

I received highest awards of my “heroism” 12 times. Aside of that I was awarded with the rarest order in 1978. But I lost it later. Tell me why and who am I. -

Clarification to Question #78 (What was operational nickname of P.Sudoplatov). In english site of wikipedia you can find that his nickname is Victor. However in Russian Wikipedia his nickname is Andrew. So I checked his book SPECIAL TASKS : THE MEMOIRS OF AN UNWANTED WITNESS - A SOVIET SPYMASTER Pavel Sudoplatov and Anatoli Sudoplatov (Little Brown, Boston, 1994). In part "Meeting with Beria" you can read that his nickname is Andrew. Sorry that this information is not available on english sites... -
