[edit] Better version
I have got a better version of the Kalinka song. It is the whole song and in better quality. May I add it to the site? And how do I do that?
[edit]
I did a horrible job of adding Kalinka to the Russian site. [1] I hope someone can do it justice. Or maybe find the right link. --Jake 23:19, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Who wrote it????
I can find no other reference to Ivan Petrovich Larionov apart from what looks identical to the wikipedia article or a tangential reference to the music used in Tetris. Did he really write it or is it the 19th century equivalent of "sampling", taking an existing folk tune and arrangeing it for theatrical performance. Did he even exist or is it an in joke perpetrated by Tetris fans? 152.91.9.9 03:23, 1 September 2006 (UTC)Ian T

[edit] Added 'tone' tag
I've added a 'tone' tag to this article, as it's too 'chatty' in lexical style. Also requires cleanup and additional references. Cheers! Mickthefish | Talk 07:59, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Kalina/Malina
I'm sorry to bother people here, but I have a question--and perhaps a suggestion... I don't speak Russian, just Polish, so I don't know if this will hold true for Russian, but in Polish, terms like "malina" or "kalina" are sometimes used to refer to young human females or little girls. If the same is true in Russian, then I really don't think it would hurt to include a footnote to that effect in the English translation section. (Again, if the Russian double meaning is overlaps with Polish) I don't think it's really all THAT complicated, and including such a footnote would add to English speakers' comprehension of the song. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.19.209.222 (talk) 19:06, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
