In 1917 Vilkov’s parents immigrated to San Francisco, where Anatole was born in 1924. After a divorce his mother married [[Greg Silvermaster|Nathan Gregory Silvermaster]], head of the Silvermaster group who spied for the [[Soviet Union]] during [[World War II]].

From there he moved to Copenhagen in 1963 and worked at the Nils Bohr Institute. In 1964 he moved to Florida and taught at McMaster University til his retirement in 1989.
