I can't tell what this article is supposed to be. I can't tell how much of it is a copyright violation and how much of it has already been mirrored. The most recent author appears to have a conflict of interest. The most recent author keeps removing warning tags. The material I can find about this person on line all appears to be self published.

Delete as press-releases masquerading as a wikipedia article, and failing
WP:GNG/
WP:NAUTHOR. While the subject has a substantial web-presence due to dozens of cross-linked websites run by him, I didn't find any substantial (or, even trivial) coverage in reliable independent sources. The "National Glory" award from the "Kremlin Foundation" appears to be non-noteworthy; the book, self-published and not reviewed anywhere; and the business association with
Viktor Petrik means that we should be doubly careful in evaluating sources, awards etc. Also note that the article creator
O21cd (
talk·contribs) (now blocked) and
Nileshneel (
talk·contribs) are likely sock/meat-puppets given that
o21cd is the name of one of Neel's enterprises. I am not raising the copyvio issue only because I suspect the article creators may well own the copyright to the promotional text.

Speedy Delete as there are no relevant information available about the award or the foundation which gave the award. This is a self written article just to boost the publicity. I propose a speedy delete.
