Hi! I created the article Soviet prisoners of war in Finland. Do you have any knowledge of Soviet POWs after the WWII? Furthermore I am very interested in life and death of Soviet general Vladimir Kirpichnikov (Владимир Кирпичников). Earlier I created the article fi:Vladimir Kirpitšnikov to the Finnish wikipedia, and I am thinking to translate it to the the English wikipedia. Peltimikko ( talk) 12:40, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
I had to check the user contributions to see if you're still breathing. For most, a mirror suffices. In your case one has to wikicheck your vital signs. :P adriatikus | talk 01:05, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
Depends on how the Ottoman Empire is defined. I followed {{ Subdivisions of the Ottoman Empire}}. Nice you had the "north" in your message. I had that too, before changing my user page. GRprefectures-have-been-dissolved ( talk) 18:58, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
The 1918 Russian SFSR was the de facto constitution of the Soviet Union until 1924 when it was replaced by a Soviet version... But yes, you're right, it was not a USSR constitution, but it worked as their official constitution until they promuligated their own version. -- TIAYN ( talk) 22:44, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for [2]. I couldn't spot it because the title was in Cyrillic; I'd suggest it may be a good idea to provide English translations (I try to do so for Polish works; even if they are written in the same alphabet; I'd think even fewer editors can handle Cyrillic). "Use English" is a good rule of thumb. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 23:21, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Hey, I've recently nominated a FL and I'm wondering if you could review it? You see my last noms, the List of heads of state of the Soviet Union and List of Premiers of the Soviet Union, has not been very popular with reviewers. I'm wondering, since you reviewed the first mentioned list, could you take a look at my new FL nom (probably my last Soviet topic FL nom in a while): List of First Deputies of the Soviet Union. -- TIAYN ( talk) 08:46, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for adding references to this article. I was reluctant to delete it, but could find nothing supporting the claims. Good save! Pburka ( talk) 23:36, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Here's another Transnistria topic I ran into a little while ago: Justinian Ovchinnikov. It looks like the article is out of date. An anonymous editor noted on the talk page that he now holds a position in the United States. Pburka ( talk) 23:14, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi! I was wondering can you watch this Soviet film documentary [3]? It's Russian but subtitled in Finnish. The review of YLE Elävä Arkisto (YLE Live Archieve) doesn't say can viewers outside Finland watch this... Peltimikko ( talk) 20:52, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I was wondering if you could help a bit on the Katyn massacre article, which is undergoing FAR. Specifically, current citations 101 and 102 ("Юрий Изюмов. "Катынь не по Геббельсу. Беседа с Виктором Илюхиным." ("Досье", №40, 2005 г.) and (Юрий Мухин, "Антироссийская подлость")) need to be expanded using the appropriate citation templates. Since it takes me like five minutes to read a sentence in Cyrillic and my translation of the sources from Russian would involve a good bit of guesswork and conjecture I thought maybe you could help out since you've edited the article before. Thanks, and let me know either way. Volunteer Marek ( talk) 06:38, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Hey Illythr--is there a transliteration standard for Cyrillic to Latin on wikipedia? I went looking for Анатолий Каминский and found it rendered as Anatoliy Kaminski (which is nonsensical). US Library of Congress standard (what US and UK academics use) would give "Anatolii Kaminskii," but I don't want to change anything if wikipedia has some other preferred transliteration standard. Thanks! jamason ( talk) 15:33, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
I was wondering if you could help with translation of this:
с войском на Украину для освобождения православного народа от ярма порабощения и мучительство тиранского ляховского и для отищения починеных обид, разорений и мучительных ругательств… всему поспольству рода Русского, по обеим сторонам Днепра мешкаючог
from the Ostrzanin Uprising article. I get the first part, something like "liberate with his army the Orthodox people in the Ukraine from the oppression and torment, to cleanse the area of Polish tyranny and put an end to the torturous abuse" but then I get stuck on the починеных обид.

Over-use of Latin to demonstrate competent command of legal terminology doesn't spill over to make the rest of someone's argument any more plausible! Thanks for the read, response on mine.
