Discussion: appears mainly by someone close to the subject

This article looks to have been substantially written by someone close to the subject. That includes subjective/unverified sections such as:

Though graduating with highest honors in 1954, as a result of the all-pervading climate of state-supported anti-Semitism, he was rejected by St. Petersburg University and entered Leningrad State Herzen Pedagogical Institute (now the Herzen State Pedagogical University, St. Petersburg). He graduated in 1959, and, though first on the official list of about 200 students, Liberman was not admitted to Graduate School, and taught English for three years at a boarding school for underprivileged children in the Leningrad region.

and an absence of references or (easily found) wikilinks.
I made some changes, including cutting out the above claims, but more work is needed. This CV style has much that's relevant, but needs fleshing out. Have there been criticisms or scandals - because there is certainly nothing negative here. Especially, we need references.
