About Gurevich's time at SUPAERO[edit]

As a former alumnus of that school, I have myself been interested in that rumour which has it that Mikhail Gurevich spent time at SUPAERO. However, the alumni register (available online here [1]) does not mention him. There are two people called Samuel and Meyer Gourevitch (common French spelling of Gurevich) who indeed graduated the school in 1913 but no Mikhail/Michael or anything close. Perhaps Samuel and Meyer are Mikhail's relatives but I did not manage to find any conclusive proof on the web or in a book. I think it is safer to leave that part out of the biography until someone finds a proper reference. Flambe 21:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See talk page on Talk:SUPAERO. The name difference is certainly due to different ways to write russian names. Hervegirod 14:38, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted a reference that Gurevich studied at SUPAERO today since the links "proving" the fact were two cross-referencing websites^[1]^[2] already discussed on Talk:SUPAERO which do not reference reliable sources such as paper publications or the alumni register. My hypothesis is that the two "Gourevitch" people in the alumni register were perhaps related to Mikhail Gurevich (siblings, maybe? I have no source at hand to confirm), but not Mikhail himself. There is absolutely no reason that Mikhail would be transcribed to Samuel or Meyer in the registers (most probably it would have been spelt as Michael, the French variant of the name).

If he was born to a Jewish family he, as is the custom, was likely given a Jewish/Yiddish name as well. Meyer would be a choice for Mikhail (Michael). I would refer you to a similar incidence of a russian refusenik Anatoly Scharansky whos Jewish name is Natan. Perhaps if it is available a comparison of the dates of birth of these individuals would be instructive.

Further it is curious given the current global situation that he is still referred to as Russian when Karkhiv is in the Ukraine. DrArtSIHB (talk) 01:00, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
