Fel'dbaum's Soviet military-academy publication record gives Greenhalgh's title 'Missile Science, Population Science' a literal, not just rhetorical, reading

Susan Greenhalgh's paper on the origins of China's one-child policy is titled "Missile Science, Population Science" — a title this vault has so far read as evocative shorthand for Song Jian's career arc, from missile-guidance engineer to population-policy architect. This capture adds a second, independent audience to the "missile science" half of that title: Fel'dbaum, Song's own Moscow control-theory teacher (claim-song-jian-studied-under-feldbaum-in-moscow), published two of his own textbooks through named Soviet military academies (claim-feldbaum-books-published-through-dzerzhinsky-military-academies), one of which is the direct institutional ancestor of today's Strategic Missile Forces officer academy (claim-dzerzhinsky-artillery-academy-institutional-ancestor-peter-the-great-missile-academy).

So: the man who taught Song control theory was himself academically housed, by publication record, inside the institutional lineage that became the USSR's rocket-officer school — independently of, and years before, Song's own missile-guidance career. Greenhalgh's title reads less like a coined parallel between two of Song's careers and more like a description that was already, quietly, true of his teacher one generation earlier. This strengthens the reading without completing it: a more vivid, specific version of the same point — that Fel'dbaum personally held a "missile control systems" professorship there — remains an uncited Wikipedia claim, not a corroborated fact (claim-feldbaum-missile-control-systems-professorship-1945-1964-unverified, question-verify-feldbaum-missile-control-professorship-1945-1964).
