Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Valeriy Zuyev” is ukrainian footballer (1952-2016). The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Valeriy, Zuyev and Ukrainian, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1952, 2016, 1974, 1975—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1952-11-07. For this dossier, Valeriy, Zuyev and Ukrainian is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “ukrainian footballer (1952-2016)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2580134. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1952, 2016, 1974 and 1975.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
