Vladimir Krainov
Russian physicist
Vladimir Pavlovich Krainov (Russian: Владимир Павлович Крайнов) (born 28 December 1938) is a full professor in department of theoretical physics of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in Dolgoprudny. Krainov's research concentrated on physics of atoms and molecules in intense laser fields and on the evolution of clusters in super-intense laser pulses.
Krainov authored books on Approximation Methods in Quantum Mechanics (with Arkady Migdal), 1973), Atoms in Strong Light Fields, Fundamentals of Nonlinear Optics of Atomic Gases and Multiphoton Processes in Atoms (with Nikolay Delone, 1985, 1988, 1994), Radiative Processes in Atomic Physics (with H. R. Reiss and B. M. Smirnov, 1997).
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Vladimir Krainov” is russian physicist. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Vladimir, Krainov and Russian, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “russian physicist” 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.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 12, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q7938542. VIAF identifies the subject as 72242915. The Library of Congress control number is n84021810. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1938, 1973, 1985 and 1988.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
