User:Vycl1994,
User:Eugenek1 - They are clearly the same person. As to titles and articles, it is the rule to merge into the older article. However, the title of the more recent article should be the primary title, because the form of the name with the patronymic is the more complete form of his name. (We might as well give him the full form of his name as a Russian gentleman, since he wasn't born a gentleman and earned all of his distinctions.)

@
Eugenek1 and
Robert McClenon: If Nikitenko's
common name and full name are one and the same, the following points will be irrelevant, but why choose an
official name over a more
concise common name? Additionally, his status and former lack thereof are largely beside the point, per the manual of style guidelines on
honorifics and
credentials, are they not? Though it seems part of the Russian Wikipedia's manual of style to title articles with a full name in defaultsort order, every English wikilink on this page that leads to another biography is titled Forename Surname. (Well,
Alexander II of Russia is an exception, but still follows guidelines on honorifics and the
naming conventions on royalty).
