Hey, I think he was doing well to predict the year!

But seriously, with my rudimentary Russian I haven't turned up much
about him, though this page takes the phonograph story as true:
http://www.belcanto.ru/article21112003.html. It mentions a collection
of old recordings and a son named Walter Block. And this page about
Russian cycling clubs mentions him:
