Intellectual Genocide's 1980 MFTI admission figures (53/39 non-Jewish, 32/4 Jewish) match A. Shen's 1994 reproduction of them exactly

Now that "Intellectual Genocide" has been located and read directly, one of the three admission-rate tables it supplies can be checked against A. Shen's 1994 secondhand reproduction of it, rather than trusted on Shen's word alone. For the Moscow Physical-Technical Institute (MFTI), the primary text states: "of the 85 graduates... applying to the MFTI, 53 were in Group 1 [non-Jewish] and 32 in Group 2 [Jewish]. Of the former 53 there were 39 admitted, and from the latter 32, there were 4 admitted." Shen's 1994 Mathematical Intelligencer table gives the identical MFTI row: First group 53 total / 39 admitted, Second group 32 total / 4 admitted. Every digit matches.

This is the first of the two institution-level tables in "Intellectual Genocide" (MFTI and MIFI; no comparable Mekh-mat table exists in this document — see claim-mekh-mat-47-vs-40-table-not-in-intellectual-genocide-1980-origin-likely-document-112) to be checked directly against Shen's reproduction, and it clears cleanly. Combined with the MIFI comparison in claim-intellectual-genocide-mifi-admitted-count-discrepancy-with-shen-1994, this establishes that Shen's transmission of the underlying Kanevskii–Senderov data is generally reliable, not merely plausible.
