12 pages = huge red flag. these type of proofs go into hundred + pages
Solution to one of the “Millennium Prize Problems”

Re: Solution to one of the “Millennium Prize Problems”
#12The document hasn't been composed in LaTeX. That's usually a pretty big red flag. However, the other big red flags common to crankwork -- excessive philosophical musing, violation of the lemma-proof-theorem structure -- are absent. I'll wait on some peer-review and hopefully a translation into English.
Also, legitimate papers never are titled/abstracted with only "this is a solution to Famous Problem" but are more specific to what it solves/relates to Example: "Modular elliptic curves and Fermat's Last Theorem"
often a proof will hinge on a key conjecture, so the paper is named after the conjecture

#13Is this for real? Who is Shokir Davlatov? Google doesn't show much, he's apparently from Uzbekistan: http://the-newspapers.com/2016/04/10/uzbek-mathematician-sai...
After a rapid search through russian language news I could'nt find much information either, except that he is not listed on the site of his university.

Is it usual for mathematical papers to be so badly written (layout)?

The author's layout looks pretty normal to me (aside from it not being in LaTeX). For reference, here's a good math paper by Noam Elkies with fairly standard layout: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1601.07541.pdf

#16Wow this is huge! The PDF is in a language I don't recognize. (not that it'd help)
It appears encrypted, but I trust some authority will be able to obtain the plaintext...
