Jan 24, 2017 at 11:36 comment added Anton Lyubinin @PedroLauridsenRibeiro: Cannot say about M. Krein's life circumstance, but to give you an idea - his brother Selim, along with another famous Soviet Jewish mathematician Mark Krasnoselski, has been fired from Kiev University as part of antisemitic campaign. Selim could get a job only in Voronezh Forest Industry Institute in Russia, only years later being able to take a position in Voronezh State University.

Jan 20, 2014 at 5:26 comment added Alexandre Eremenko @Pedro Lauridsen Ribeiro: Here is a short obituary of M. Krein in English with hints about his difficult life MR1294613.
Jan 20, 2014 at 4:54 comment added Alexandre Eremenko @Pedro Lauridsen Ribero: 1. I would not call "persecution" what happened in Soviet Union with the Jews. The more correct name would be "discrimination". M. Krein's status and position in Soviet Union certainly did not correspond to his merits. 2. I do not know anything about Bogolyubiv's role in this.
Jan 20, 2014 at 2:02 comment added Pedro Lauridsen Ribeiro @AlexandreEremenko: I've heard stories that M. Krein (and probably his brother as well) suffered anti-semitic persecution in the USSR academic medium, mainly due to the influence of N. N. Bogolyubov. Do you confirm that?
Jan 19, 2014 at 22:21 comment added Alexandre Eremenko @Alexander Chervov: this work of Krein in in the first volume of his collected papers (3 volumes, in Russian) MR1321817. This volume also contains a reasonably complete list of his publications. Many of his papers are in obscure Russian and Ukrainian journals, which are not on Mathscinet, and I doubt they will be ever digitalized. The journal DAN in not available on Internet, but I suppose most university libraries have it, in Russian or English. Unfortunately, most manuscripts of Krein were trashed after he died.
Jan 19, 2014 at 22:10 comment added Alexandre Eremenko @Alexander Chervov: yes. Mark and Selim were brothers.
Jan 19, 2014 at 17:30 comment added Alexander Chervov @S.Carnahan Wow! Respect !

Jan 19, 2014 at 14:56 comment added Alexander Chervov @S.Carnahan you should do it, if you are confident.
Jan 19, 2014 at 14:54 comment added Alexander Chervov @AlexandreEremenko - done. By the way, do not you know: Mark Krein and Selim Krein - were they brothers ?
