[edit] The name

Isn't ya Russian for "I"? Does it also mean your? --Error 03:27, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Several Russian dictionaries I've checked would indicate that you're right - ya (Я) does indeed mean "I" or "me". I can't find anything to suggest that it means "your", though - I believe that's Vash (Ваш). Perhaps we should remove that claim until someone can check it fully? -- Vardion 07:10, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)

'Ya' means 'I' (or 'me'). 'Ty' is 'you' (singular), 'tvoy' is 'your' (singular). 'Vash' is 'your' (plural). Constanz 15:09, 24 November 2005 (UTC)


Yabloko means apple in Russian. If I recall correctly, the name is an acronym from 3 founding members' last names: Yavlinskiy, Boldyrev, and Lukin. This makes up YaBL part, which is the first letters of the russian word for apple.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.129.121.62 (talkcontribs) .
The article already states that fact. If you look at the original question closer, you'll notice it was asked in 2004. The first response came in 2005, after the article had been long corrected.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 20:15, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
