[edit] Dates

According to German Wikipedia he died on April 28 1813

The original version of the English article cites the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica, but most websites agree with April 28 - including the online Concise EB [1] at this time. One online copy of the 1911 EB has "2$th March" [2] - could be a scanning error or an embedded copy identifier). The confusion could be due in part to the Russian calendar moving from the Julian to Gregorian after the 1911 EB in 1918, however according to Russian Revolution, the calendar was only 12 days behind in the 19th century, giving 9 April. One internet biography claims 16 April [3]. Could someone check against Russian sources? I'll also ask at the Reference Desk. --Zigger 18:03, 2004 Apr 28 (UTC)
In vgd.ru he has a listing at: [4] and the dates are 5 (16) September 1745 – 16 (28) April 1813.
Another Russian source is here, confirms Julian calendar dates 5 September 1745 and 16 April 1813. [5]
Another Russian source here, confirms 16 Sep 1745 to 28 Apr 1813. [6]
Note his name is "Illarionovich" with two L's rather than one L.
