Yeah it's that guy.
From the book:
General of the Army, Simion Pavlovich Ivanov, then a colonel in charge of the operations branch of the 13th Army headquarters
The date of 10 July was written by Suvorov like this:
...The Soviet troop movements began in February. They were stepped up in March, reached enormous proportions in April and May, and became truly all-embracing in June. These movements involved those divisions which had already been moved up close to the German frontier; those which were preparing to invade Iran; and those which had remained in the Far East. The full build-up of Soviet troops on the German frontier was planned to have been completed by 10 july.
He accredit this data to General Ivanov, and gives the source: ''Nachalnyi Period
Voiny, Moscow Voenizdat 1974, p. 211'', but he doesn't quote him (at other places he does) so I dunno which part of this was actually written by Ivanov. Maybe just the date.
