Talk:Lenin Peace Prize
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Removed redirect to Talk:USSR State Prize. Yes, it's easy to confuse these prizes but that is already mentioned on the Article pages and this redirect only added to the confusion. — PDD 22:14, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picasso
How come he has a French flag? He is Spanish, right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ice Jedi5 (talk • contribs)
- I just cited the source. He is named French there probably because he lived in France at the moment of the award. In general, Soviet sources, such as Great Soviet Encyclopedia, call him "French painter of the Spanish origin". Cmapm 17:21, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Source
What is the source of the list of recipients in this article? It differs considerably from the list in the German Wikipedia. I checked the Wielka Encyklopedia Powszechna PWN and it also gives a different list. Kpalion 17:54, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Others who also recieved the prize but not on this list
(not a complete list) * Ahmed Sékou Touré, President of Guinea was also a recipient of the prize
Bram Fischer, South African Communist Party leader, was awarded one in 1967 while he was in prison
- I don't know when was this comment written but they are both in the list now. -- Magioladitis 20:47, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
According to French and German wikipedia the following names are missing from the English article until 1956.
Pierre Cot (1953)
Alain Le Léap (1954)- Latin America Baldomero Sanincano (1954)
Prijono (1954)
All the other names, until 1956, match. From other sources I can confirm that Pierre Cot received the prize.

It's been 20 days since I posted that. So i am putting them in the main article without source. -- Magioladitis 17:53, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sam Nujoma
While 2006 International Who's Who says he had got the Prize in 1973 and the Joliot-Curie Golden Medal of Peace in 1980, I failed to find any mentioning of him being awarded any of these prizes in Soviet sources. Maybe these decisions were secret in that time? As such, I'm temporarily removing his name from the article until more information on this is available, i.e. all the circumstances are clear.

[edit] Why did the Lenin Peace Prize end?
Although the Soviet Union dissolved in the early 90s, I think a note of exactly what happened to the prize must also be included here.
[edit] Edhi was not a recipient
Is there any place one might be able to find an authoritative list of Lenin Peace Prize recipients? Am pretty sure that Abdul Sattar Edhi was never a recipient of the prize. Hulleye (talk) 22:15, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
