*In the USSR (and Russia) all advanced degrees need to be confirmed by a government committee (VAK). For 6 years the decision of the VAK was delayed. Despite the support of distinguished mathematicians in the Soviet Union and abroad a negative decision was made in 1977. The second dissertation (on the same subject) was defended in 1984 and approved by the VAK.
