 * Keep as passes WP:GNG with coverage in Russian reliable sources. As he has a critical view of the Russian state we should be wary of the deletions on Russian Wikipedia, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 02:11, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, old spam and cross-wiki PR (new spam-pages:, ). Russian "reliable sources" no have this name, Maxim Mernes (can search with Google News and other services). Deleted on Ukrainian Wikipedia - its mean its just spam page, not about politics. Кронас (talk) 14:08, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment from an account that has already put the articles for deletion for the third time. This time, the article was deleted from the newly registered account, which is one day old. And they support removal from the old one. Petr Semenov19 An account was created specifically to delete the article. Which already requested the removal of old articles. Actions are very similar to Kremlin bot. Stepandem (talk) 06:34, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

 * I clean page from promotion, non-authoritative sources and information without sources. All information about "fights for the rights of crypto investors", "officers attacked", "criticizes the Russian economic system. For which he was attacked several times." isn't real, no have any confirmations in Russian reliable sources. Created artificial significance of person. Кронас (talk) 15:07, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete; sourced to spam and cross-wiki sites. No decent sources. Doesn't pass the WP:10YT - SchroCat (talk) 16:25, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete not sure where to cut these off. Perhaps this is WP:PROMO. No reliable sources. And the books he authored... I cannot find them to check publishers. Wm335td (talk) 18:35, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete all six books are self-published through a Russian web service called "Издательские решения" (although there are nine listed at mybook.ru). This explains how when the books appear on Amazon, the agency name does not appear, but a different publisher's name appears (Ridero). Article is completely WP:PROMO, no reliable sources to verify notablity.--Goldsztajn (talk) 13:03, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
