[Spooks] Mysterious Russian 'Buzzer' radio broadcast changes

"UVB-76, UVB-76 ? 93 882 naimina 74 14 35 74 ? 9 3 8 8 2 nikolai, 
anna, ivan, michail, ivan, nikolai, anna, 7, 4, 1, 4, 3, 5, 7, 4",


As far as I know, no one has said it out loud yet, so I will.

The format using a 5-digit group followed by a Russian language word 
and several more figure groups (not necessarily 5-digits long), was 
the usual format for the old Soviet General Staff codeword messages 
(CWMs) broadcast often during the Cold War.  But I don't know if the 
Russians are still using it or a similar format.

Having said that, it reminds me of the early U.S. SAC SKY KING 
messages.  Oh, for the good ol' days!
