[edit] Reservoir name

What was this reservoir renamed? I am looking at the list of Russian reservoirs, which is an official document issued by the Russian government just a few days ago (on 11/16/6), and this reservoir is still listed as "Kuybyshevskoye", not as "Samarskoye". I was unable to find any official documents confirming that the reservoir was ever renamed. Comments would be appreciated.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:57, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I think it is still "Kuybyshevskoye vodohranilishe".Olegivvit 17:02, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. Do you know why it's called "Samarskoye" in some sources then? Is it just because of the assumption that the reservoir was renamed because the city was?—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:57, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Probably so. By the way, I saw many times modern maps (in English) with Simbirsk instead of Ulyanovsk. Olegivvit 15:10, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
That's one publisher whose maps one would should avoid buying :) Anyway, I moved the article to its proper name.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:35, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
