 Peter, apparently Yuri Vasilievich Biryukov acted as scientific
 consultant on the 2008 documentary, which I assume you watched:
 http://tvroscosmos.ru/?page=glyshko

 Apart from that you could read the following homepage:
 http://epizodsspace.airbase.ru/bibl/issled-po-istor/issl8-10/01.html

 In it is mentioned an article on Tikhonravov's 100th birthday written
 by Chertok, Brykov, and Biryukov.

Земля и Вселенная. 1993. № 5. С. 86-91
