[edit] Strongest man

I think it would be nice to have specific references for these lines:

He was proclaimed the best sportsmen of the 1960 Olympics and the "Strongest Man on the Planet". He was considered a nerdish intellectual in rim glasses, going against the stereotypes attached to weightlifting.

[edit] 185kg snatch?!?

Oh, come on, you honestly belive he snatched 185kg at the age of 70?!? You misinterpreted the article in russian. And by the way, I don't think that Vlasov was the first man to snatch 200kg, I think that you have mistaken snatch for clean and jerk... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.150.113.203 (talk) 22:27, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Christian Democrats

The article states: "In parliament he started as a member of the liberal Inter-regional Deputies Group, along with Andrei Sakharov, Anatoly Sobchak and Boris Eltsin, but later became close to nationalists and christian democrats." Which party is considered "Christian Democrats" in Russia? Specifying the actual party would be helpful...
