Antsyferov is mentioned in an article found online here

“63 Lieutenant Colonel Pashentsev assumed the position of head of the 30th border detachment in 1968, before him the detachment was headed by Lieutenant Colonel Antsyferov Vilen Mikhailovich, an authoritative intelligent officer, self-possessed, calm, he was respected (without this, the name is not remembered), we treated him even with reverence. In our sergeant school, he lectured several times, stately, gesticulating beautifully. They said that he was with us temporarily, on vacation … But what kind of vacation is there – commanding a detachment?”
