I have clearly stated my historical relevant and mathematical critical reason for stating that Cantor was and is Russian - the impact that had on his career and life cannot be understated in respect to the German school that was so overly critical of his work - failure to acknowledge that by claiming he was German completely misses this subtle but highly significant point - it was PIVOTAL in his life - you rely on Encyclopedia Britannica? - a pop-knowledge source? - I am a degreed Historian who also happens to be a degreed Mathematician - it is not about claiming Cantor for Russia - he was Russian there is nothing to claim - and yes - you are where you are born - regardless of passports - Cantor was Russian through and through whether in Germany or anywhere else - it behooves you to leave the correction as I made it because it is factually correct - had Cantor been born German his work and life would have turned out far differently - period
