i found an old directory of USSR personalities from 1971 and picked
out some of the highlights--this stuff writes itself

Select Portraits of Prominent USSR Personalities, July 1971

A prominent sculptor who worked on a five-meter high memorial to
secret policemen who fell at Stalingrad on a 14-meter high square
pedestal.

A party functionary, responsible for the chemical industry as Donetsk
Oblast Party Committee secretary, transferred in 1941 to some other
post; awarded three Order of Lenin.

A celebrated novelist and playwright, severely wounded at Lozovaya
Station in 1942, whose books on the partisan movement in Minsk and
eventual liberation of Soviet forces, were not well received by
critics in 1952 who demanded that writers should turn out works on
topical themes like kok-saghyz and peat compost.

A secretary (or second secretary) of the Central Committee of the
Komsomol whose responsibilities comprise sports, mass defense,
propaganda and agitation, special projects, and working with
schoolchildren.

A top functionary of the Belorussian writer's organization, a veteran
of fighting in Poland and in Germany, mostly by writing sketches and
verses for army newspapers--he urged refrainment from revenge against
the defeated Germans by writing a novel with synthetic partisan heroes
and brutish German officers and soldiers.

A noted novelist who wrote a call for correction of defects of Soviet
reality without going beyond the limits set by the party.

A doctor of historical sciences who as director of the Institute for
History of the USSR made sure it was orientated more toward the
future.

A most outstanding monumental sculptor, whose works include Soviet WW2
heroes, an ensemble of Soviet soldiers in a Berlin park whose main
figure is a victorious Soviet warrior carrying a girl and smiting a
swastika with his sword, has now crowned his career with a work called
'Lenin-Our Banner', whose erection he plans in the near future.

A new director general of TASS which serves 3,000 Soviet newspapers,
all radio and TV, all journals, various organizations and
institutional offices and correspondents in over 100 foreign
countries, information exchanges with foreign press agencies, and
which also produces more than 3 million words of information every 24
hours.
