His French death certificate
There is no reason to change the birth date into 21 February, because that is obviously an Old Style (Julian Calendar) date (that being the calendar commonly used in the Russian Empire at the time), and corresponds to March 3 New Style Gregorian. I have no idea why he wanted people to believe he was born in Tartu/Dorpat/Derpt/Yuryev rather than Riga. --Paul Pieniezny (talk) 20:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Maybe because Eisenstein was born in Riga. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.152.166.90 (talk) 03:30, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

This is a google translation of the French source on the 1957 death certificate. I notice that any mention of the fact that he was probably born in Latvia, not Estonia, has been removed from this article, while the French and Russian versions give the correct place of birth: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2F1895.revues.org%2F95%23tocto10&act=url
