Sergeyev worked from 1988 until 2014 as a news assistant, fixer, and all-round explainer of Russia during a time of rapid change. He helped a succession of bureau chiefs including Jonathan Steele, David Hearst, James Meek and Miriam Elder.<\/p>\n<p id=\"sign-in-gate\">\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">A popular and polymathic colleague, Sergeyev was responsible for reading Russian newspapers each morning at the Guardian\u2019s pokey Gruzinsky Pereulok office. He seemed to know everything and was an expert on ballistic missiles, party politics, medieval history, air balloons and Italian opera.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">Sergeyev never quite embraced the digital age. Instead, he would sit at a desk piled high with yellow cuttings that he had sliced from the Russian press using a Stanley knife. He described this archive as his \u201cvaluables\u201d. When Hearst tried to persuade him to throw the papers out, Sergeyev transferred them to the boot of his car.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">\u201cRuben was one of the most intelligent and chaotic people I have ever worked with. He was playful, open to everyone and everything, and constantly curious,\u201d Hearst said. \u201cHis cuttings must have done thousands of kilometres. Ruben always told me he had the character of a rhinoceros.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">Tom Parfitt, who worked with Sergeyev from 2005 to 2012, described him as \u201cvery kind and much-loved\u201d, dispensing advice to friends and neighbours. \u201cHe was excellent at getting people of all kinds to talk to him \u2013 and therefore to the Guardian. This hugely enriched our reporting,\u201d Parfitt said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">He added: \u201cRuben was incredibly loquacious. Even after 20 years or more working as an assistant to correspondents, he remained gloriously oblivious to the newspaper schedule and would always put his head around the door at deadline time, wanting to elaborate at length on some point of Soviet history which he felt you had inadequately understood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">\u201cIt could be exasperating, but halfway through you would get interested and then couldn\u2019t help asking questions \u2013 making yourself later and later for your deadline.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"5b94ab0c-240b-457b-8238-683a0c7d2210\" class=\"dcr-10khgmf\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/b789bfe2193ba27355dab1dd4b90d448e9f90f1d\/13_96_750_450\/master\/750.jpg?width=445&amp;quality=45&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=max&amp;dpr=2&amp;s=737a5c4ee769f79ac0f79d6a87999b60\" alt=\"Ruben Sergeyev\" height=\"450\" width=\"750\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"dcr-1989ovb lazyload\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ruben Sergeyev\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/b789bfe2193ba27355dab1dd4b90d448e9f90f1d\/13_96_750_450\/master\/750.jpg?width=445&amp;quality=45&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=max&amp;dpr=2&amp;s=737a5c4ee769f79ac0f79d6a87999b60\" height=\"450\" width=\"750\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"dcr-1989ovb\"><\/noscript>Ruben Sergeyev, \u2018a ball of physical and particularly intellectual energy\u2019.<\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">Sergeyev\u2019s family played a major role in 20th-century Soviet history. His grandfather Fyodor was a leading Bolshevik and friend of Lenin\u2019s. When Fyodor was killed, possibly by Trotsky supporters, Stalin adopted Fyodor\u2019s son Artyom, who grew up in Stalin\u2019s household and was friends with his son Vassily. During the second world war, Artyom led a partisan unit fighting behind German lines, later taking charge of air defences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">Sergeyev was always a democrat, despite his impressive communist credentials. A young expert on arms control, he first met the Guardian\u2019s then Moscow correspondent, Jonathan Steele, in 1988 or 1989, at a time when US-Soviet relations were largely focused on the other side\u2019s nuclear weapons systems. After numerous animated conversations, Sergeyev joined the Guardian bureau.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">\u201cHe was clear-eyed about the mistakes and thievery that accompanied the chaotic transition from state-control of the economy to capitalism,\u201d Steele said. \u201cHe was never as enthusiastic about Boris Yeltsin as the Russian staff in other British and American correspondents\u2019 offices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">Steele added: \u201cRuben was a ball of physical and particularly intellectual energy, endlessly curious about new developments in politics and international relations. Driving with him on the increasingly hectic Moscow streets was a perpetual thrill as Ruben negotiated traffic jams while constantly talking. I had to urge him not to turn his head to look at me while he spoke but focus on the view of the road ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">Sergeyev\u2019s English was fluent and sophisticated, and peppered with some archaic military terms, such as \u201cmen in galloons\u201d to mean soldiers and security service people. Sometimes he threw in Russian words such as <em>komplot<\/em> (conspiracy). When he spoke to Guardian correspondents in Russian, he enunciated clearly to make sure they understood.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"920e5f84-1044-423b-93e9-59865f6dd5b8\" class=\"dcr-10khgmf\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/b748c1a2550b0c9633928774a63181d816da3f5f\/0_80_1280_768\/master\/1280.jpg?width=445&amp;quality=45&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=max&amp;dpr=2&amp;s=b9d10478ea3e54722ed0461b08eb5f9b\" alt=\"Sergeyev with James Meek circa 1996\" height=\"768\" width=\"1280\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"dcr-1989ovb lazyload\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Sergeyev with James Meek circa 1996\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/b748c1a2550b0c9633928774a63181d816da3f5f\/0_80_1280_768\/master\/1280.jpg?width=445&amp;quality=45&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=max&amp;dpr=2&amp;s=b9d10478ea3e54722ed0461b08eb5f9b\" height=\"768\" width=\"1280\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"dcr-1989ovb\"><\/noscript>Sergeyev with James Meek in about 1996. Photograph: Heidi Bradner<\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-s23rjr\">Meek, who worked with Sergeyev in the 1990s, described him as \u201ca dear, kind, intelligent man\u201d. He said: \u201cI can hear his voice now, standing in the office amid great yellowing stacks of old Russian newspapers, his insistent voice, pointing out to me that some obscure moment of legislation was, in fact, another step towards the destruction of the Eden the Soviet Union might so nearly have been, saying: \u2018James.
