the article claims he was born in St Petersburg and lived there until 11 -if that does not make Cantor Russian nothing else will- he was NOT German despite what that Great Beacon (?) of pop-knowledge Encyclopedia Britannica claims - the impact his Russian-ness had in having him and his work accepted by the German school is a direct cause of his later mental health issues - to deny that is fallacy and sweeps over perhaps the MOST critical aspect of his life - I do not need any source - YOU are my source - to claim he was German is wrong - period- I am a degreed Historian and Mathematician and bristle when I see such ignorant bias to claim him for Germany - he is / was and will always be Russian so call it like it is - not as the historical revisionist want to claim it - had he been any less successful I would most certainly expect German to disown him now as they did then - he is ONLY claimed by Germany because of the enormity of his work and impact it had on modern mathematics - something I in fact disagree with but get it right and PLEASE leave my CORRECT correction ...
