Eugene Dynkin
Soviet-born mathematician (1924–2014), known for foundational work on Markov processes and for the Dynkin diagrams used across Lie theory, who emigrated to the United States in 1976 and spent the rest of his career at Cornell University.
Matters to this vault, in this cluster, as the archival endpoint of the 1978 ICM memorandum thread: his personal papers at Cornell's library hold a folder explicitly titled "The Situation in Soviet Mathematics notes and correspondence, 1978" (Box 29, Folder 8) — the most concrete named lead toward the memo's own text, unread by any vault session so far, and the source Gerovitch's own research on the memo draws on.
