Non-notable university teacher.

In politics, an assistant to a regional deputy and does not pass WP:NPOLITICIAN.

On the web, does not pass WP:NYOUTUBE with such a small audience.

It's true he's the author of a bunch of works, but that doesn't provide notability itself. Suitskvarts (talk) 19:58, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

:Should be enough, but almost certainly more in non-English-language sources as well. —siroχo 20:48, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

::{{Ping|Siroxo}}Are you sure that's our guy? I just don't see anywhere that he is connected with the "Siberian branch of the Soviet Union's Academy of Sciences". I mean, he's from St. Petersburg. Also, I think if he had traveled to the US in the 80's as part of Soviet delegation, it would have been mentioned on the Russian page. Suitskvarts (talk) 21:27, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

:::In my search I found at least 3 other contemporary people with reasonable coverage with the same first and last name (and English-language sources often do not include the patronymic), so it's possible a couple of these sources describe yet another, but there's a few similarities to the subject of the article. The gaps in degrees from this article lines up with being "distracted" by these related political pursuits at various times. The fact that he studied philosophy and economics seems to line up with the sources I listed. But I am not positive —siroχo 19:46, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
