The TIMES article on famous goalkeepers with quotes from VN is at

I also came across an item relevant, perhaps, to the "VN Postage Stamp"
debate. There's a Russian stamp issued 1990 bearing spy-defector Kim
Philby's smug mug. The text: Sovietskii Razvedchik. Kim Filbi
(1912-1988) 5
pochta SSSR 1990. It's part of set celebrating diverse NKVD Geroi!
It had me re-reading VN's early, far-from-apolitical gem: RUSSIAN SPOKEN
HERE.

Is the Putin regime ready, yet, to honour some of the true, literary
Geroi?
