Actually, I hadn't seen the movie or read the book when I came up with it! It was just a coincidence since it's obviously based on my name. In fact, as I understand it, "Loginov" spelled with an "i" is relatively common Russian last name, something I also didn't know when I came up with the "loganov" moniker.
The designer of the the 45mm AT gun and almost all the anti-aircraft weapons used by the Soviet Union in WWII (25mm, 37mm, 76mm, 85mm) was Mikhail Loginov, for instance.
If you ever happened to play Close Combat III: The Russian Front, you'll know that every individual soldier in your unit was tracked throughout the war, along with a unique name, attributes, and service record. The last names were all randomly selected from a list that Atomic Games came up with for the game. The only exception was the soldier in the command squad that represented you, the player. He had whatever name you entered. When I played the Germans, the last name I typed in was "Hartke". When I played as the Soviets, I used "Loganov". Funny enough, I think one of the names that was randomly assigned to the gunner in my command Tiger one time was a soldier with the last name of "Henke". Those are my cousins, from the same town in Germany where my family's from. You don't have to go too many generations back in my family before you start getting Henkes. Once, when I was playing the Soviets, a crewman in the command tank was named Loginov. So, you had a Loganov and a Loginov in the same tank, assigned randomly.
Cheers,
Logan
