Are Stefan University Press books legit?..

[edit]

I reverted the editor who removed the books section because ISBNs seem to be valid and referencing real published books, but I have some afterthoughts. It looks like the book references were inserted in the article as part of an apparent V. Stefan self-promotion campaign. There's little doubt that the books actually exist and have A. Prokhorov's name on the cover. However, could somebody verify that A. Prokhorov did in fact edited any of these books?.. Azov 10:16, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Did Prokhorov speak fluent English with an Australian accent alongside Russian?

Nationality is unclear

[edit]

It is unclear from the article what nationality Prokhorov was. He was born in Australia at a time which would have made him a British subject. Once Australian citizenship was established post-World War 2, his prior Australian birth could have made him an Australian citizen. His parents were Russian; did he have automatic Russian citizenship at birth due to his parents? Having returned to Russia, did his parents do anything to naturalise him as a Russian? Did he take any steps as an adult to naturalise himself as a Russian? Would any of these actions have invalidated his status as a British subject or an Australian citizen? Possibly. But there is nothing in the article which tells us whether any of these speculations are true. The only fact we have is his birth in Australia. So I have removed the nationality in the infobox and rewritten the led para to contain what we do know, born in Austrlia and that he did his research in the Soviet Union.
