Konstantin Igudesman and his academic forefathers

The following information (incipient from Sergei P. Finikov) is an excerpt from the material that can be found at the homepage of The Mathematics Genealogy Project. The intent of this project is to compile information about ALL the mathematicians of the world. By searching, e.g., for Last Name "Finikov" at http://genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/html/search.shtml#" one can find Finikov's entry. By clicking on Finikov's name (almost) all his Ph.D. students are listed alphabetically, and his Ph.D. advisor (Dmitri Egorov) is displayed. By clicking on "Dmitri Egorov" one can find his advisor (Nicolai Bugaev) and so on. The list of doctoral father, doctoral grandfather, doctoral great grandfather, etc. below has been collected from the wonderful data repository of the Mathematics Genealogy Project.
