[edit] Name
If you are going to be pedantic enough to remove the second "e" from "Alexander" (i.e. Alexandr Ostrovsky), please be thorough enough to replace the "x" with "ks" (Aleksandr). Of course the Wikipedia MOS Police will cite you for policy violation, but you would at least be accurate and consistent.Ivan Velikii 07:06, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Corrections
Removed some miraculously erroneous statements
- Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District (opera) is based on Nikolai Leskov's story
- Groza (The Tempest) is not set in Moscow, but on the coast of Volga as the first line of the play says.
- Description of Kuzma Minin as a butcher downplays his role as an elected city aldermen and partner in salt mining. I'd leave this statement since too much of his identity is based on conjecture by historians. NVO 19:14, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
