Date of birth

There’s a problem with his date of birth. Various sources give the Julian and Gregorian dates as 21 April and 4 May respectively – eg. Britannica. But 21 April 1870 Julian does NOT equate to 4 May 1870 Gregorian. That would require there to be a 13-day gap between the calendars, when in 1870 the gap was only 12 days. So the possibilities are:

21 April Julian = 3 May Gregorian
22 April Julian = 4 May Gregorian.

Russian Wikipedia has 21 April/3 May, and I assume they had the facts. I'm going with them for now, but if anyone can come up with his birth certificate we'd be on even stronger ground. -- JackofOz (talk) 06:19, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
