"Boris Bazhanov" -- I wonder if that name was the basis for Rocky and Bullwinkle's "Boris Badenov"Perhaps more likely a play on the name of czar "Boris Godunov" but your theory is interesting.

My thoughts exactly. There is, however,
also a classical music composer named Boris Goodanoff (please excuse spelling) who may have inspired Bullwinkle’s nemesis.
