There are at least two Muchniks about computability.
There is Muchnik senior of the Friedberg-Muchnik theorem.
As far as I can remember his full name, it is
Albert Abramovich Muchnik (nationality: Russian/Jewish).
Then there is his son, Muchnik junior whose name is
Andrei (Albertovich), who sometimes signs his papers
as An.A.Muchnik.  Muchnik senior was certainly alive
in 1990 and may very well  still be.
