I see that the co-author of my publication (Alexander Baranov) is a person who is impersonating another person with the same name. I also assume that this author has appropriated authorship in other publications of Alexander A. Baranov. I am almost sure of this, because this person (Alexander Baranov) is only a student at a medical institute, while Professor A.A. Baranov is the chief pediatrician of Russia, and indeed is the author of national guidelines. I ask you to remove the affiliation of this person from my publication at least.

A researcher has wrongly claimed co-authorship of my publication is well described topic at RG Help Center page:
https://explore.researchgate.net/display/support/Authorship
Unlike this help page (to which Anton Vrdoljak pointed) suggests, most probably it was not the other author himself who wrongly claimed authorship, but ResearchGate's automatic algorithm wrongly identified him as co-author and assigned your publication to his profile. This is a frequent problem in ResearchGate in case of similar names.
