To review

I suspect the following may need to be reviewed, "He is a sponsor of the Moscow Art Theatre and the Anton Chekhov Yalta Theatre, which was built in 1883, renovated in 1908, and reconstructed in 2008 "with the financial support of A.E. Lebedev", as A.E are not his initials (at least not in that order), but are certainly the initials of his father (who has much greater financial clout), taking into account the y --> e switch from Cyrillic to Latin alphabet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.159.115.170 (talk) 12:33, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Early life and education"?

Not a lot of "education", then? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.100.45 (talk) 03:38, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Peerage

So far he has only been nominated. His peerage has not been Gazetted and the House of Lords website does not list him as a member. Robin S. Taylor (talk) 23:35, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It has, now. He's a Crossbencher Recidivist23 (talk) 05:58, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To add to this article: his net worth, and his father's net worth. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 04:22, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Party

Why is his party not mentioned in this article? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 04:45, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Makes no sense

This bit, at the end of the "Other business interests" section- "In Russia, his title has also been perceived as an obvious musical-theatre-inspired reference to the memory of the late "Siberian baritone" Dmitri Hvorostovsky who 'had been called like that in the West because of some gloomy depth in his voice'" doesn't really make sense/ its relevance is unclear; did this Dmitri Hvorostovsky play a character called "Baron Lebedev"? If so, this ought to be made clearer. Also, the quoted section doesn't match the text in the cited source- apparently only pertaining to Hvorostovsky- which instead is given in the citation as "In the West, he was often called the "Siberian baritone" in much the same way as Chaliapin's bass has always been associated with Russia. There was some gloomy depth in his voice".

So this ought to be rewritten- if included at all, so vague does the thing seem- as "In Russia, his title has also been perceived as an obvious musical-theatre-inspired reference to the memory of the late "Siberian baritone" Dmitri Hvorostovsky [insert reason, i.e. the character he played]" which trims the irrelevant bit about why he was called the Siberian baritone. If it's "obvious" in Russia, it might be worth explaining precisely why, so this doesn't seem like a random bit of fluff stuck in here for no reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.184.136 (talk) 17:28, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The French newspaper

How can the French newspaper which is not cited have published something on the 14th which is tomorrow. 80.5.83.99 (talk) 19:54, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The i newspaper

The article says: " On 26 October, the i newspaper was launched, the first national daily newspaper to be launched in the UK since The Independent in 1986" This is incorrect. Eddie Shah launched The Post in 1988 which folded five weeks later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.15.132.71 (talk) 11:41, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Date of Birth.

Wikipedia shows his DoB as 8 May 1967, but Google shows 8 May 1980. I think this must be incorrect. His father Alexander Lebedev is shown as DoB 16 December 1959, which would make him less than 8 years old when his son was born ! I'm not skilled in editing the article, but I'm sure this can be checked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kit344 (talk • contribs) 21:05, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

of Siberia in the Russian Federation

If British monarch gives away some titles bound to territory in Russia does it mean Brits already conquered Russia and now giving it's former territory with Russians as slaves? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.165.173.131 (talk) 21:45, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AFAIK you can have pretty much anything in a British title. Field-Marshal Montgomery took "of Alamein" in his title, because he won a battle at El Alamein, for example.

Lebedev may have used "of Siberia" as a joke - he has lived in England since age 8, so credit him with a British sense of humour. Sayitclearly (talk) 11:06, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
