In a book I have been reading I came across a mention of this character in a footnote and immediately recognised that he could well be the individual Hoffman meant. So for the sake of the factual record, intellectual honesty and being complete I reproduce the relevant footnote:

I'm glad to know this, as I recently brought up the Dragonsky thing as a means of discrediting Hoffman at another forum where he was foaming at the mouth against "neo-nazis" and white nationalists as usual. In the future, I'll have to find something else to attack him with.
I wish people doing research of this kind would start providing their sources in footnotes for anything that isn't widely known or firmly established. For example,
Who Rules America? claims Howard Stringer (Sony's present CEO) is jewish, but I couldn't find anything confirming this when I searched the web last year.
