Bogolyubov died on 3 February 1896 in Paris.
This sentence gives the wrong death date. Bogolyubov died in Paris on November 7, 1896, according to standard biographical and archival sources.
Full reasoning
The location is right, but the date is not. Reliable reference sources state that Alexey Bogolyubov died in Paris on 7 November 1896. Tatarica’s encyclopedia entry gives the full biographical line ending "7 ноября 1896 года, Париж", and RGALI’s 2024 archival note gives the same date and place. These sources directly contradict the article’s claim that he died on 3 February 1896.

К 200-летию со дня рождения Алексея Петровича Боголюбова (28 марта 1824, с. Померанье, Новгородская губерния - 7 ноября 1896, Париж)
It was opened to the general public seven years earlier than the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow and fifteen years earlier than the Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg.
The comparison dates are off. The Tretyakov Gallery was already open by 1874 and open to the public by 1881, while the Russian Museum opened in 1898—so Saratov’s museum was not 7 years earlier than Tretyakov, and it was 13, not 15, years earlier than the Russian Museum.
Full reasoning
Official museum histories contradict both parts of this comparison.
- The Radishchev Museum’s own history says it opened to the public on 29 June 1885.
- The Tretyakov Gallery’s official journal states that the gallery was open to a wide circle from 1874 and to the public from 1881. That means the Saratov museum did not open seven years earlier than the Tretyakov Gallery; the Tretyakov was already open first.
- The Russian Museum’s official history says it opened its doors to the public on 19 (7) March 1898. From 1885 to 1898 is 13 years, not 15.
So the sentence misstates both chronological comparisons.
