Mikhail Golant
edit- ... that Russian scientist Mikhail Golant, a sapper during World War II, pioneered the Soviet approach to design of backward-wave tubes?

The article is just long enough and the date is fine and it's reasonably well cited. I've added a citation for the statement in the lede about the application of EHF therapy and one for his date of death as they were the only uncited parts. There is no evidence of plagiarism/copyvio problems based on what I can see using Google Translate. The hook is short enough and fairly interesting (I wanted to know what a backward-wave tube was) and the facts are cited. Mikenorton (talk) 17:41, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
