Shouldn't we use a standarized ukrainian to english transcryption of his name? If so, his name should be 'Hryhori Skorovoda. Halibutt 08:55, 30 Dec 2003 (PST)
[edit] Ukrainian/Russian
Taras Shevchenko wrote his poems in Ukrainian, but Hryhori Skovoroda wrote his poems and other works in Russian (certainly) and Ukrainian (maybe) both. The nationality has no value as its instruction leads to racism. It is necessary to specify only citizenship and language on which the writer wrote. Moscvitch 15:23, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- Only because he wrote in Russian, he's Russian now?Ceriy 16:01, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- Look at Gogol article. I think we can write: "Hryhori Skovoroda was a Russian-language poet, philosopher and composer of Ukrainian origin". OK? Moscvitch 16:33, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- "Hryhori Skovoroda was a Ukrainian poet, philosopher and composer who wrote most of his works in Russian-language." I think this way is more correct. Ceriy 16:59, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with Ceriy. BTW, Taras Shevchenko wrote in Russian too, both poetry and prose. It does not make him a Russo-Ukrainian poet. Same here. Skovoroda is an unquestionably Ukrainian person. That he wrote in Russian is notable but should not be phrased such as to cast any doubt on his ethnicity. --Irpen 17:19, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- OK. I made it. Moscvitch 18:04, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- Skovoroda used a hybrid language (also used by Tuptalo, Yavorsky and other church figures) that cannot by qualified as Russian.
- "Hryhori Skovoroda was a Ukrainian poet, philosopher and composer who wrote most of his works in Russian-language." I think this way is more correct. Ceriy 16:59, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Skovoroda also wrote poetry in Ukrainian, which sounded peculiar to our ears but was typical in the pre-Kotlyarevsky era.Galassi 00:11, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
