Chenihiv edit

This guy may actually prefer to use Chernihiv instead of Chernigov, so i would not revert, though I would appretiate if User:AndriyK would provide documents supporting this claim abakharev 09:02, 28 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

HIs parents job? edit

"Axelrod was the son of a Lithuanian Jewish innkeeper. His parents were poor workers who lived in the Jewish poorhouse.[2]"

How was his father an innkeeper, and also a poor worker? Doesn't an innkeeper live in an inn, and not a Jewish poorhouse? Which was he? Or if he was both, how is that possible?

Buttermilk? edit

The reference on Axelrod´s buttermilk business before his turn towards kefir is simply wrong. Deutsch, who mentioned this on page 54 (not 64) has mixed up both businesses. The firm was established in 1886 under the name of his wife (N. Axelrod), while Pavel received prokura not before Jan 1, 1887, when the firm became a "Kollektivgesellschaft". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:CF:730:9E89:CD1E:869F:F0B2:5963 (talk) 18:11, 25 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
