Thank you, Steve,
 
I always forget that it is Fyodor (and not his father!) who shares his birthday with Chernyshevski (who was born on July 12,* 1828). As to Konstantin Kirillovich, he shares his birthday with VDN (who was born on July 20,** 1870).
 
*Old Style (July 24, NS)
**New Style
 
best,
Alexey

[Correction: Yikes, make that July 12th!]
Sorry, I almost thought I had gotten it wrong. But here it is:

    Наш поэт родился двенадцатого июля 1900 года в родовом имении Годуновых-Чердынцевых "Лешино".

July 8 July 12 Same birth date as Chernyshevsky. Konstantin Kirillovich's is the 8th of July--not sure off the top of my whether old style or new.  Most likely old (the Berlin Russian newspaper, Rul', published old-style dates first, new-style second and smaller, until its demise in 1931.
