Delete, as person fails the general notability guidelines. Most of the article is about his father and grandfather. Notability is not inherited. Unfortunately, the one citation and all of the external links were raw urls and are now dead links. Nonetheless, coverage seems to be lacking. The Russian Wikipedia article is a bit longer, but it has only a single citation to a short biography at RIA Novosti. He was not a columnist, he worked in the newspaper's morgue (archive and background information division) and was in charge of the "Calendar" column that listed upcoming events. A non-notable man in a non-notable position at a notable newspaper, the Moscow News, with a well-known relative. Note, when searching for him, that there are a lot of false drops even when using "journalist" as a filter, hits such as "Interview with Nikita Khrushchev's journalist son-in-law" (his uncle). --Bejnar (talk) 15:28, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. He is not notable and there are no sources to check since the links are dead.Frmorrison (talk) 16:27, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Actually one is his obit (2007) and the other is from 1999, but neither is really about him, so much as his relatives. --Bejnar (talk) 06:03, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
