Anerkannt means that sb or what they say is respected as an expert. „Er ist ein weltweit anerkannter Wissenschaftler“. Also this can go for theories. „Darwins Evolutionstheorie ist weltweit anerkannt“.
Angesehen is similar. It is a bit stronger than anerkannt. The person is a bit more liked than sb who is „anerkannt“.
Bekannt essentially only means that somebody is known. Not positive or negative. Only known. This can also go with information. „Diese Information ist bekannt“.
Can be connected with other words: stadtbekannt, weltbekannt, meaning known in the whole town or known in the whole world.
Another one is „berühmt“ which means that sb has a celebrity status.
Also can be added to to make sb „weltberühmt“. „Stadtberühmt“ wouldn‘t work, as berühmtheit is a degree of fame that already is bigger than only being known in one town.

yeah, just like there is one between "respected" and "recognized"
If you have a certificate you accquired in russia, and it is also valid in Germany, that's a typical case of "anerkennen".
If you think highly of a person, you would use "angesehen", more or less "well-respected"
You can also use "anerkannt" to refer to a person, but that means something like "people recognize the persons achievements and not that he/she is actually popular)
