[edit] Dating?
Can anyone supply dating for the story of Taras Bulba? In other words, when is the action set? Gogol doesn't say, and I haven't been able to figure this one out. (But then, my knowledge of the history of that time and place is VERY bad.) With the major motion picture coming out later this year, I'm guessing people will be coming here to get additional information.

[edit] See / hear
The article mentions that During the execution, Ostap...calls out to his father, asking if he "can see this?". I recall (from reading the English version in about 1975) that Ostap asks his father if he can hear what is going on. I have one copy in Russian, which reads:
- Батько! где ты! Слышишь ли ты? - Слышу!
The direct translation to "hear" seems more appropriate.Mike Shepherd 21:19, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:NikolaiGogol TarasBulba.jpg
Image:NikolaiGogol TarasBulba.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 16:12, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Another ballet was written about Taras Bulba
The German/Russian composer Reinholt Gliere also wrote a ballet titled "Taras Bulba" but it is less well known than the Janacek.

If this is relevant and accurate then it belongs on the article page (not on this "Talk" page).Mike Shepherd 13:14, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
