bignose/heimdal im afraid im very firmly in the camp of believers that its the same person.my reasoning is as follows.first alex is a diminutive of alexander.zhavoronkov is referred to as "alexander"in several places,although more commonly as alex.next we know Zhavoronkov is the founder and ceo of insilco ,as well as being the obvious driving intellectual force behind it.in the section on page 26 0f the circular regarding the acquisition, when it sets out the effects of the deal on shareholdings, it shows aleksandrs zavoronkovs as having 17 93% of DLI shares pre acquisition and 3.35% afterwards. now whilst not completely impossible, i don't think it is very likely that someone other than the founder would have that percentage. also alex is not mentioned at all in the list of shareholders affected, which must surely indicate it is the same person. if you google the aleksandrs version you either get nothing ,or the alex version.not conclusive i accept but indicative. we know alex zhavoronkov has stood down as DLI's ceo and taken up the role of DLI's chief longevity officer,so to my mind anything he produces has the potential to impact on DLI, including in a general associated sense, activities by insilco.i agree of course that something produced by insilco which has no relevance to DLI'ssphere of activity wouldn't benefit regent but i am hoping that there may be some overlapping areas which do.i take the point bignose,that the register you have posted would suggest otherwise ,but it may simply be a mindless reproduction of register entries where perhaps historically both versions of the name were give at different times.the extract does i think purport to show former directors. how to account for the differing spelling in the circular?well my guess(and thats all it is) is that the differences result from the translation into english of the Russian cyrillic alphabet,which has caused some corruption.all just my opinion and I'm not trying to be dogmatic at all and happy to be proved wrong (well actually i wouldn't be happy as i hope it is the same person lol) I've no idea what bothwell is referring to (i think it is something on instagram but i cant get on to it on my laptop).i agree it would be very helpful if he could clarify.very probably nothing of any real import of course.
