Out of curiosity, I looked up Dimitriev in Wikipedia. Read, read, read, and then I came across a paragraph about some matter concerning interlocking directorships. In my usual without-spectacles way, I misread it momentarily as "interlocking dictatorships." I knew immediately that was wrong. But it stopped me for a moment. "Interlocking dictatorships"? I had the instinct that something was there, but could not put my finger on it. I therefore bring it to the attention of anons for their delectation.
