need source for professor
Bezroukov is not listed in either of two likely places to look for FDU: Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics and Gildart Haase School of Computer Sciences and Engineering TEDickey (talk) 16:28, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

If he works/worked for BASF which is a company in Germany, he may have transliterated his name as Besrukow. I come from a different angle i.e. why softp. had taken some of my remarks from another site and then having been associated with Russian music in earlier phases of my life, I was intrigued with that. Pls be aware that names originally from languages written in cyrillic come out different in various languages.

Fulbright scholar
That statement can be checked, fails verification. Go to the Fulbright Scholar List Archive, which leads to Fulbright Scholar Grantee Directories, and see that he is not listed in either the 1995-1996 or 1994-1994 directories. TEDickey (talk) 09:26, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Use of self-published sources
A linked-in profile is no different from a resume, with all of its drawbacks, and is not suitable for a reliable source TEDickey (talk) 22:02, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Shuttered
It ought to be noted that Dr. Bezroukov stopped his famous website, Softpanorama in Sept 2021, though it will stay up, uncontributed to further, for the next few years.

Possibly due to a heavy political content with many 'conservative' commentators, which challenged the state ideology, towards the end; ( although not pro-Trump, they raised many questions regarding the latter's ouster ).

.

I never quite knew what to make of the site: very computer erudite, for people who like that sort of thing, the anti-neoliberalism was valuable; but apart from a obvious distrust of Open Source, and a positive loathing of Linus and Linux, it hymned Unix and was fairly friendly to Microsoft. So radical politically, and anti-Capital; but trusting to Big Tech and its creatures   ---  who serve Capital....

.

As said it had many commentators, which means one less uncensored meeting-place. Claverhouse (talk) 04:55, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
