Counted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.

Valentin Kozmich Ivanov was a Russian footballer who played as a midfielder. He was the co-leading scorer at the 1962 World Cup, and the co-1960 European Nations' Cup top scorer. — Wikipedia

The archive holds 5 team sheets naming Valentin Kozmich Ivanov in Russia's starting line-up, from 1958-06-08 to 1958-06-19.

5 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
