RePEc — профиль неполный — Profile pkl236 exists but lists 42 works. Voprosy Ekonomiki (nos:voprec) is fully indexed in RePEc, so more of his articles are in the system but unattached to the profile. They can be claimed through the Author Claim service.
eLibrary.ru / РИНЦ — The indicators are recorded (see Citation indicators), but the SPIN code and Author ID are not — eLibrary requires a login.
ORCID — неполный — The profile exists but lists 70 works out of 879. ORCID outlives platforms and domains; it is worth enriching from the site bibliography, starting with the 62 works that carry a DOI.
OpenAlex — записи задвоены — His works are split across three author records instead of one (A5046687557 plus A5103648701 and A5108997797). OpenAlex accepts merge requests.
Google Scholar — почта не подтверждена — The profile shows “No verified email”. A verified address in the cemi.rssi.ru domain lends the profile authority and ties it to the institute; it needs mailbox access, so this is a question for CEMI.

For many years he stood first among Russian economists by number of citations in the eLibrary index. So states a reference written in February 2026; the current standing is reported by the database itself, above on this page.

Independent assessments

Work by other authors in which he himself is the subject. Citation counts measure how often he was cited; a survey of colleagues measures something else — what the profession thinks his contribution was.

Sokolov M.M., Chechik E.A. · Voprosy Ekonomiki, 2022, no. 11, pp. 117–135

A survey of Russian economists on their colleagues' contribution. G.B. Kleiner ranks 4th for contribution to his own field, 5th for contribution to economics, 4th in the jury rating. The authors note separately that only four names appear in the top 20 of every reputational ranking and every scientometric one: Glazyev, Kapelyushnikov, Kleiner and Mau.
