Good enough sources for family members' names?
The article currently mentions that Aleksandr Kronrod had a spouse and a son. I'd like to add their names: Lidiya Aleksandrovna Kronrod (Лидия Александровна Кронрод) and Mikhail A. Kronrod (Михаил А. Кронрод). However, I'm not sure whether the sources I have are reliable enough for Wikipedia.

The most published source—a magazine article—refers to Lidiya by the nickname Lida, and doesn't name Mikhail. The second most published source—an entry in the Russian Virtual Computer Museum—names Mikhail, but not Lidiya. The most detailed source—which gives Lidiya's full name and identifies her as Mikhail's mother, although it refers to Mikhail by the nickname Misha—is an article on the ITMO University news blog.

Information about Mikhail almost certainly needs to meet the standards for biographies of living persons, because he spoke at a math society meeting in 2022. Sadly, information about Lidiya may not need to meet these standards, because an unpublished biobibliography says she died in 2016.

Imperial Russia?
No, he was born in the Russian SFSR, which in 1922 became a part of the Soviet Union. --Odengatan 19:49, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
