povodil: sov. ili nesov.?

[Elena Ostrovskaya]

I am afraid, it is wrong. "Povodil' is perfective, the imperfective pair to
it is 'vodil', whereas 'poviol', also perfective, has 'viol' as an
imperfective pair. The strange thing about the quotation, though, is its
final Present tense. I guess it is possible, but very uncommon  and
ungrammatical.
