In 2010, the Bogdanov brothers became defendants in a scandalous case about the unscientific nature of their dissertations and were forced to pay a fine of 2,000 euros to the French National Center for Scientific Research in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics.
Igor and Grigory were born on August 29, 1949 in the French city of Saint-Lary (Department of Gers) in the family of Yuri Mikhailovich Ostasenko-Bogdanov (1928-2012), a Russian artist of Tatar origin, who sometimes called himself "Prince Bogdanov", and Maria (Maya) Dolores Franciszka Kolowrat-Krakowska (1928-1982).

Yuri Mikhailovich Ostasenko-Bogdanov was born on January 28, 1928 in Leningrad in the family of Mikhail Borisovich Bogdanov and Anna von der Osten-Saken (Ostasenko).

Mikhail Borisovich Bogdanov was repressed, and 12-year-old Yuri was evacuated to Slutsk after the blockade of Leningrad began. During the war, Slutsk was occupied by the Germans and plundered, and Yuriy was driven away for forced labor in Germany.

According to the passport, Maya's father was Count Hieronymus von Colloredo-Mansfeld, with whom Maya was officially married. Igor and Grishka studied their genealogy from childhood and were brought up by their grandmother Berta in Schonnbrunn Castle in Saint-Lary, where there was a rich library with various books on scientific topics.
