Help needed from Russian coders
By yandry, 13 years ago, In English

Hi guys,

I am very sorry for the off-topic, but I would like to dedicate my first blog entry to the search of a Russian person.

His name is Andrey Harchenko. To the best of my knowledge, he worked at the military airport of my city, Cienfuegos (Cuba) in the 80's. He left Cuba in 1984. At the moment, he had two sons, Irina and Sergei.

I will finish my entry by posting two pictures of him(in both pictures he is the leftmost). If any of you can provide some information about him, it will be very appreciated.

Best wishes from Cuba, and high rating!

I wonder, if there is any person on codeforeces who has a relative with access to the military archives. I don't know where to search, i think that social networks are useless - too many people with the same last name.

Could you write here approximate age of the person you are looking for? It seems the only way to find him - search on Russian social networks but there are too much (764) persons which have name "Andrey Harchenko".

    I dare to suppose that person in question was about 22-30 y.o. in the beginning of 1980s, so now he should be of 50-60. This reduces amount to about 50 persons at all. However I did not found amid them (in the "vkontakte" and "odnoklasniki") any person which matches similar requirements (with similar face features).

    It could make sense to address all person matching to "Sergey Harchenko" of 27-32 years requesting info about their parents, but only "vkontakte" gives over 100 such entries.

      Rodion, his name is Andrey, not Sergei=) I searched in vk.com "Andrei Harchenko" and added limitation to age and only 7 users with such "parameters" found. Some of them was teenagers which just intentionally wrote their age incorrectly, but I think some of users are relevant/ - I can't say exactly because their accounts don't have avatar=) May be this one:
      1) http://vk.com/id104798188 - one of his friends has name Sergei - may be he is son of Andrey?
      2) http://vk.com/id5401037 - no any info, try to submit personal message
      3) http://vk.com/id141653368 - no any info, personal message will help=)

        I know. I meant to search for his son. I've seen teenagers too. Odnoklassniki seems to have bit more suitable persons. I've tried to send few messages.

Hi guys, thank you so much for your comments!

@ivan.popelyshev: Access to the military archives would be great. I have tried to use vkontakte before but, as you said, it is a very common name.

@Baurzhan, @RodionGork: He must be 50-60 years old. His son and daughter must be in their early 30's.
