Evidence submitted by Beetstra
IP diff, IP diff and IP diff (there may be more IPs, the edit warring is long-term) are typically similar to Russian.science (or diff, etc.). The IP edits (either way) got a semi protection on the page (hoping that that would result in discussion). Russian.science (who is autoconfirmed) continued, and ran into a block.

The next day, during the block, user Europe2000 starts on the talkpage, just after creation, with this comment, which shows knowledge of the past of the article, and pushes again the same point. Dirk Beetstra T C 11:17, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Sock indeffed, lengthened block of main account. --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:10, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Account created 23/10/2010, first and only edits are on user talk pages canvassing them to edit the Andre Geim article in favor of the sockpuppeteer's unsourced opinion. Clear previous knowledge of subject discussion. Therexbanner (talk) 15:36, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Similar type of edits, focussing on Andre Geim, only commenting or referring to background being Russian and Jew. Seems to have laid low for some time. Any sleepers around? Dirk Beetstra T C 15:38, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
