Mardanov's articles have nothing common with serious research. For example, when writing about events of 6 October 1941 in his article 'Defending Russia's North' he somehow managed even not to mention interception by 151 Wing RAF over Vaenga, giving full credit for all Ju88's of KG 30 destroyed that day to Soviet I-16 fighters and AA batteries.
Yuriy Rybin wrote an article, in which he criticised Mardanov's research and his methods (could be read using Google translator or something similar):
