Early life and family
Ivan Oseledets comes from a family of mathematicians. His grandfather, Ivan Bezhaev, was associate professor at the Moscow State University and reached the rank of lieutenant general in the Soviet Union's Red Army where he was responsible for various mathematical projects involving cryptography.[citation needed] His father, Valery Oseledets, proved Oseledets theorem in ergodic systems theory.[8]
