Sasha Makhmutov - Wanted!

Introducing: Alexander Emmanuel Makhmutov, my maternal grandfather. Sadly, I have never met him. In fact, talking about him when I was young just did not happen. I would not exist without him, right, so I have been looking for him...He was born in Baku, Azerbaijan and a senior officer in the Red Army in the 1940s.
