Talk:Alkhan-Kala operation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

IMHO, the article should be renamed. The word "zachistka" is not immediately understandable to non-Russian speakers. "Zachistka" is not as recognizable as "perestroika", so it has to be replaced. KNewman 05:17, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Zachistka in Alkhan-Kala → Alkhan-Kala operation— Once again, the word "zachistka" is not immediately understandable to non-Russian speakers. "Zachistka" is not as recognizable as "perestroika", so it has to be replaced. KNewman 07:22, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

  • It's close but support. Zachistka has yet to enter English enough to warrant the term as a title (note the lack of a Wikipedia article on the topic although one is needed.) And even in Russian, zachistka has a range of meanings. Also support the move of Zachistka in Borozdinovskaya for the same reason. — AjaxSmack 01:47, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
