Mikail's father, as far as I remember, did win gold at Olympic games (68 and 72). He now travels to the US where his son Mikhail assists and translates for him.
I believe Mikail himself would be a knowledgable trainer, coming from such background.
Best is always to go and watch a few sessions before you make up your mind. Observe the contentment of the horses in work. That will tell you all you need to know.
Good luck - and if you decide to work with Mr. Kizimov: Enjoy!
