[edit] type

Isn't solyanka also a type of cold beetroot soup? // Liftarn

Nope. That's svekol'nik or cold borsch, depending on preparation method. There's other type of solyanka, though. Not soup, but a dish of stewed cabbage with meat, close to bigos. --Khathi 07:47, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Soljanka...

There should be a redirect from the German transcription of Soljanka to this page... Dreammaker182 (talk) 09:05, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

"It may have originated in Ukraine in the 17th century."\

Any reference? Any source? On the other hand there are plenty of references to Soljanka (or Selenka from selo - or hamlet, village) being an ancient Muscovite dish, both mentioned in cookbooks from the late 17 and 18 century and in Alexander Dahl's 19th century dictionary of common Russian language (never mind that Ukraine did not even exist in 17th century, not even in the sense of geographic concept). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.129.116.60 (talk) 16:26, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

In fact there is an 18th century street in Moscow called Solianka - http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rue_Solianka —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.129.116.60 (talk) 16:58, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
