Can someone add the Russian gloss? -- Kaihsu 21:03, 2004 Feb 10 (UTC)

A link to the "opinions found on the web" would also be nice.

[edit] Stalinist USSR?

Arnold was 16 in 1953 (the year of Stalin's death), so saying that his career began in Stalinist USSR is not quite accurate. (nor do I really see a reason to add word Stalinist to every mention of USSR, even in places where it has nothing to do with the subject of the article)

[edit] Food for thought.

1., Didn't Mr. Arnold had a serious accident with head injury recently?

2., Some hungarian engineers have just succeeded in constructing in clay a homogenous body having exactly 1 stable and 1 metastable/unstable position of equilibrium, which practically proves Arnold's unlikely conjecture that (1,1) bodies do exist in 3D. They now have to find a good approximative polyeder, which is predicted to have thousands of sides. Suprising similarity to some turtles' shells. Supposedly article is now in print in the Mathematical Intelligencer journal.
