Good enough sources for family members' names?

The article currently mentions that Aleksandr Kronrod had a spouse and a son. I'd like to add their names: Lidiya Aleksandrovna Kronrod (Лидия Александровна Кронрод) and Mikhail A. Kronrod (Михаил А. Кронрод). However, I'm not sure whether the sources I have are reliable enough for Wikipedia.

The most published source—a magazine article—refers to Lidiya by the nickname Lida, and doesn't name Mikhail. The second most published source—an entry in the Russian Virtual Computer Museum—names Mikhail, but not Lidiya. The most detailed source—which gives Lidiya's full name and identifies her as Mikhail's mother, although it refers to Mikhail by the nickname Misha—is an article on the ITMO University news blog.

Information about Mikhail almost certainly needs to meet the standards for biographies of living persons, because he spoke at a math society meeting in 2022. Sadly, information about Lidiya may not need to meet these standards, because an unpublished biobibliography says she died in 2016.

Great work in expanding this today. Just a few points: The 'Later in his life' para should be moved near the end of the bio section, so that it reads chronologically. If you have access to the sources, the various achievements and events details should be dated. Some copy editing would help in avoiding short sentences such as 'He tested the medicine on himself' or 'Kronrod helped to solve the general recursive search scheme' Three of the last five sentances in the bio section are unconnected and should be integrated into the rest of the text. + Ceoil 23:30, 19 December 2006 (UTC) And you might comply with WP:MOSHEAD + Ceoil 23:34, 19 December 2006 (UTC) The quote that Kronrod gave ideas "away left and right, quite honestly being convinced that the authorship belongs to the one who implements them" is intriguing and points towards an interesting personality. Could this be expaned on? + Ceoil 23:59, 19 December 2006 (UTC) Ceoil, thanks for the incredibly prompt assessment. Your comments above have been incorporated (pretty much done). -Susanlesch 04:29, 23 December 2006 (UTC) Your welcome, although the article has improved dramatically since I made my assessment, and I notice it has since been upgraded. Just one thing though, do you know when began to develope 'milil'? When did he suffere his first stroke? Anyway + Ceoil 19:04, 23 December 2006 (UTC) From what little I have read, Landis and Yaglom offer no dates between 1968 and 1986. At this time I am limited to Internet resources but can try to find out at a library sometime. -Susanlesch 19:12, 23 December 2006 (UTC) Dear Ceoil, I went to the Minneapolis Public Library with high hopes. They unfortunately had no more information except mathematics treatises. -SusanLesch (talk) 02:01, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
