     Gentlemen - 
 
     
     This may be a matter of trivial import but it's been
 troubling me
     for a while now so if someone can settle the question,
 it would make
     me - and possibly others - happy.
 
     
     Why do we call the Russian setup ZEVS?
 
     
     When was the name first used?
 
     
     Is there an actual official (or as near official as we
 can get) 
     Russian confirmation of this name?
 
     
     Is the name in fact Zeus and we've lost something in
 the
     transliteration?
 
     
     Anyone know anything?

         The ZEVS carrier
           seems to be still on.
