"I am Vladimir A. Uspenskiy (alias Uspensky, Uspenski, Uspenskii, Uspenskij, Ouspenski). Fifteen years ago there staid Ouspenski in my passport, now there stays Uspenskiy. My contemporary position --- Professor at Lomonosov Moscow State University (School of Mathematics). Dynkin and Kolmogorov were my teachers in mathematics.
Here are brief annotations to the recordings:
1. Party at Nikita Vvedenskaya's house on 16 September 1989. Everyone is sitting at the table. Uspenskiy takes a part in a conversation, he is the main speaker from the 38th minute of the first part of the recording to the end of the second part (in the second part there is a 5-minute break in his speech from the 21st minute to the 25th). In the speech Uspenskiy talks about how he made acquaintance with Dynkin, about Dynkin and about Dynkin's afterschool math club.
