Reinhard Heydrich air victories?

The list of 'improper research' is long and obviously critical approach is logical. Nonetheless I think that we have the right to condemn any sloppy job.
In regard of Russians, generally yes, because nothing in kind of joint claim/credited victories list was ever published. The new research contains such information, but it is usually limited to particular units or pilots. There were some discussions regarding a complete list, but I think the best would be to ask Russians themselves. Some of them are visiting the site.

The Bykov's book is the only one based on archival sources. It is not flawless (corrections are available online), but Pokryshkin case was checked extremely carefully. Highest scores are usually based on Pokryshkin memoirs and other propaganda stuff, and as far as I know, nobody was able to contradict Bykov's data.
That said any work based on propaganda sources must be flawed, and that was my exact point. I hope it is clear. And the author does not speak Russian, as he admitted himself when send to Russian sources.
Finally, I think questions to Bernad or Karlenko should be aimed directly to them.
