Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: May 1, 1924 (Russian literature of the 20th century. Volume 1, 2005; ProDetLit; Historical Encyclopedia of Siberia) or May 2, 1924 (BnF authorities; Integrated Authority File).
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.
