University

edit

I added this to the article:

He taught at Liebknecht University until his death at age 43.

based on a source. But a Google search suggests that this university merged with Sverdlov Communist University (apparently not very much a university at all!) around 1920, losing its name and identity. Can anyone provide insight?

Questionable dates

edit

From Conversion between Julian and Gregorian calendars it appears that Julian dates are behind Gregorian dates. So this would mean that he would be born 21 December 1896 (Julian calendar) / 2 January 1897 (Gregorian calendar). Can this be checked? --Matt Westwood 14:15, 1 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
