oswah the article claims he was born in st petersburg and lived there until 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
