Your English seems to be improving. The grammar and spelling is better than in your earlier top-level posts. I'm a little curious though, given how many Russian speakers there are here, and how many Russians speak some English, if you did want to keep this secret in Russia why put this out here? (I'm also concerned that in general engaging in deceptive behavior to get people preserved will substantially harm the reputation of cryonics.)
(Incidentally if the body was close to the freezing point of water before the actual cryonic preservation, and was only for a day or so, my impression is that ice crystal formation is probably going to cause more damage than amount of time being not preserved at cryonic temperatures.)
He doesn't seem to want to keep it secret in the sense of "someone doing dedicated research would be unable to figure this out".
He more or less wants to keep it secret in the sense of "I hope my colleagues, friends and family don't find out.". Its also exceedingly unlikely that any Yellow magazine Russian reporter would read this site and even if he did he would be very unlikely to run with the story.
I think his secret is pretty safe in this regard, since to the average person someone the question if someone got cryogenically preserved or not is pretty much a unknown unknown.
I want to keep it in secret only for some my mothers friends and not forever. In fact I was going to tell that she was cryopreserved on the funerall, but it was too hard for me. So I am irrational in this point. Most of russian speakers here are russian transhumanist who already know about the case. Her brain was near zero but not below freesing point, and was partly successfully filed with cryoprotector as I was told. The partial success was due to brain hydrops
