Feb 2, 2022 at 16:46 comment added LSpice @KConrad, I know not a whit of Russian, so had to rely on @‍Kostya_I's (via Google) translation. The timestamp next to a comment is, for some reason secretly, actually a link to the comment.
Feb 2, 2022 at 16:25 comment added KConrad @LSpice in this case победа is better translated as triumph, which you probably already realized. How did you determine the comment number to create your link?
Feb 2, 2022 at 14:02 comment added Kostya_I @LSpice, Google translate is adequate: "The last scientific victory of Billevich K.K. was a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, this work was deposited in 1987 at VINITI." "Deposited" refers to the practice of making an unpublished manuscript publicly available by archiving a physical copy in a library.
Feb 2, 2022 at 13:09 comment added LSpice @KConrad, what's the translation of that?
Jan 28, 2022 at 1:39 comment added KConrad @RyanO'Donnell no reply yet. The email address is generic (kmatan is just an abbreviation for "mathematical analysis department"), so possibly nobody is even reading it. Fortunately you have already received some very good information here.
Jan 28, 2022 at 1:35 comment added KConrad @AnatolyKochubei it's unbelievable that the page you linked to includes the line Последней научной победой Биллевича К.К. было доказательство великой теоремы Ферма, эта работа была депонирована в 1987г в ВИНИТИ.

Jan 25, 2022 at 18:38 comment added Anatoly Kochubei A little more is written here: skgmi-gtu.ru/ru-ru/faculties/asf/cathedra/fmd In particular, his first name and patronimic were Mikhail Mikhailovich.
Jan 24, 2022 at 12:35 comment added Ryan O'Donnell Do report back KConrad, thanks!
Jan 24, 2022 at 9:13 comment added Kostya_I @KConrad, mathnet.ru indexes primarily (only?) publications in Russian venues. Artjukhov's later papers were in Acta Arithmetica, the latest one in 1975.
Jan 24, 2022 at 2:54 comment added KConrad I sent an email to the indicated address to see what the department knows about him.
Jan 24, 2022 at 0:35 comment added KConrad On the page ntb.spbgasu.ru/cgi-bin/irbis64r_15/… a book of talks from the 2nd All-Union Mathematical Congress in 1934 lists M. M. Artyukhov's talk on "Solution to a problem connected with the reciprocity law" (search for the word взаимности and there's just one hit).
Jan 24, 2022 at 0:14 comment added KConrad Ah, interesting! FWIW, the list of his papers on mathnet.ru ends in 1962, which is before his two papers on primality tests appeared: mathnet.ru/php/…
