Sources disagree: July 12, 1894 (Writers of St. Petersburg. XX century; BnF authorities; Encyclopædia Britannica Online) or July 13, 1894 (Concise Literary Encyclopedia) or July 13, 1894 (Munzinger Personen; Library of Congress Authorities; Concise Literary Encyclopedia; Russian literature of the 20th century. Volume 1, 2005; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Writers of St. Petersburg. XX century; BnF authorities; Babelio) or July 12, 1894 (The Fine Art Archive Db).
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.
