In 1967, as senior APN correspondent in the US, Borovik was reported to have "sounded out the possibility of broadcasting a program about Vietnam on the network of one of the largest American television corporations".[2]
He also wrote a book about famous Soviet spy Kim Philby.[3]
Borovik was the fourth and the last chairman of the Soviet Peace Committee, in the years 1987–1991.
