Actually, this had been determined ten years prior as quoted by a Russian university organization<ref>Dyadkin, Iosef G. (1983).

This university organization republished this account in 1993 and may have been the very book mentioned by Richard Rahn. It may have been misquoted in a ''Pravda'' article—if ''Pravda'' published it at all and was the mode of transmission—and picked up by Rahn or misunderstood by Rahn. In 1993 this may have been the first official acknowledgement by Moscow of these figures or the first time ''Pravda'' had reported them.
