But not from the family if the architect of the Moscow Metro? Check out:
  February 3, 2006 marks 100 years since the birth of the famous Soviet architect, State Prize winner Ivan Georgievich Taranova. In his project to build eleven stations of the Moscow metro, pavilion "Mechanization" (later
renamed the "Space") on VDNH, Industrial Bank building on Tverskaya Street and many other objects. On the eve of the anniversary we went visiting his son, Andrei Ivanovich Taranova, also an architect, vice-president of the Union of Architects in Moscow, who told many interesting things about my father, the family Taranova, on their home. We talked about the modern architecture of the capital.

Cup of the Emperor
Ivan's father Georgievich Georgy Taranov - Belozerov, was a military engineer Andrei Ivanovich shows a photo of the table: five brothers, two men in plain clothes, three - the royal army generals, one of them - George Ivanovitch. Older brother, Alexei, shot himself, was surrounded by red Ekaterinodar. To leave his family after the revolution not happened in Paris was just one of the brothers. "But the punishing right hand barely touched our family - tells his grandson, Andrey Taranov, because my grandfather was a safe-conduct: he is very good to the soldiers in the First World, for which he received a special list with thousands of signatures and icons. I know that he twice had to produce this letter once and he saw this list, but then he disappeared, had disappeared from home and many other documents. I realized that my dad destroyed everything that could be construed as anything, including a document dated 1935 year waiver of the second name - Belozerov.
When young George Taranov-Belozerov entered the Military Engineering Academy, he bought a set of triangles from mahogany, finished with ebony. These drawing tools and then went to Ivan Georgievich. "In 1929, - shows their current owner on the wall - my father used these triangles in the still life. I appreciate this watercolor. She always hanging over my desk, and triangles for many years I work. As my grandfather, then studied it brilliantly. When issuing from the academy, passing 12 exams to 12-point system and dial 144 points, my grandfather was invited for an audience with Nicholas II, who was responsible of the Military Engineering Academy, and received a gift of his personal cup. She kept us up to now.

Oleg Nazarov, is a very real hook! Exit to the family and ... perhaps this portrait of someone from the family.
Raskatov boy, dug up!

Well, if not Andrew Taran, Ivan Taranov - almost to the point, he did a mosaic in the subway, on "Mayakovsky" for example ..
But the portrait is probably not, he drew ..
