QUOTE:Black Russia and White Russia were geographical descriptions. The inhabitants of these ares were called 'Black Russian' and 'White Russians'/QUOTE
There was no Black Russians inhabitants of any mythical Black Russia.
White Russia is also called Belarus, and Black Russian I think is just an invention of some bartentender.
QUOTE:PierreAbbat (There is such a place as Black Russia, according to Bartleby)/QUOTE
I had been living 31 years of my life in Russia and never heard about Black Russia. Sometimes Central and Southern part of Russia is called Black-Earth (or Black Soil?) in Russian, but it is not the same.
QUOTE from Bartleby: Black Russia.
Is the drink named after Belarus, or after the Whites in the Civil War? Slrubenstein Central and Southern Russia is so called from its black soil.
“The winter crops in the whole of European Russia are very good, especially in the black-earth regions. In the government of Northern Russia the condition is less favourable.”—Newspaper paragraph, December, 1893. /QUOTE
Original quote from Newspaper does not contain Black Russia term, so I suppose Black Russia is Bartleby's invention.

Isn't the cultural reference to a White Russian regarding Cannabis already stated here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_russian thus has little reference to the actual drink? Can this be removed?
The term, White Russian, is more accurate than White Emigre, and should be used accordingly in WP!!! Ludvikus 16:27, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Revragnarok reverted my edit with the edit summary rv - see WP:MOSDAB please. I am quite familiar with the manual of style pages about disambiguation, but this does not explain what you found wrong with my edit, and why you removed the links I added. — Michael Z. 2006-12-20 17:20 Z
I removed the POV bit about the use of "White Russian" in reference to Belarus being "incorrect and possibly offensive." It doesn't seem to be strictly incorrect. A note about offensiveness seems inappropriate, especially in a disambiguation page, and seems predicated on a misunderstanding of the term and its etymology, especially since no one says it anymore. I replaced it with a note that the usage is archaic, and kept the translation of the name, though I suspect even that is too much for a disambiguation page.

I believe there is here a fundamental confusion over English language usage.
Should the disambiguation pages White Russia and White Russian be merged? — AjaxSmack 16:50, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
SergeyK: I can't true to wikipedia more about history and political.. I found the manipulation in topic about Novorossiya. I opened "White Russia" and I see not history information, but i see the talk about "offensive or not". It is very sadly.. Openthe Encyclopædia Britannica (1911 year, 23 volume) - and we can to read: Great Russians, Little Russians, White Russians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.32.68.33 ( talk) 05:12, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
