Troyanovsky served as the Soviet Union's ambassador to Japan before he was appointed to the United Nations. In 1980, two members of a dissident Marxist group sneaked into the U.N. Security Council chamber and threw red paint on Troyanovsky and U.S. Ambassador William vanden Heuvel. The Russian's response: "Better red than dead." In 1983 when listening to the recording of Soviet fighter pilots shooting down [[Korean Air Flight 007]] jumbo jet that killed carrying 269 people, Troyanovsky remained poker-faced and impassive.
