Is nokertiy Zyryanov, 25, swam from the Kuriles to a coast near Kokkaida last September after fighting off seals on a homemade raft. He said his father was Japanese and his mother Russian, and that his parents were executed by the Soviets for political reasons. He claimed to have worked at Kumeshisi after service in the Red Army. Authorities said there was no link to Sgt Vladimir Barashkov, a Red airman who fled to Japan, whose case emerged with newsmen yesterday.
