Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: August 28, 1899 (Russian Wikipedia) or September 1, 1899 (Olomouc City Library regional database; The Fine Art Archive Db) or August 28, 1899 (Russian literature of the 20th century. Volume 3, 2005; Russian Wikipedia).

The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
