Talk:Konstanty Wasyl Ostrogski

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] picture

I removed the picture because it seemed to me that a monument about the Baptism of Rus, which occured in the 10th century, would be unlikely to depict a prince from the 16th century. Still, if User:Irpen is sure about this one, I withdraw my objections. Balcer 23:13, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

The monument to the Baptism of Rus is a composition that depicts many figures deemed important for the Orthodox Christianity. Ostrogsky, reverred as a defender of the Orthodox church against the suppression by Poland, is depicted in the composition. In Russian sources, he is called "Konstantin Konstantinovich Ostrozhsky". His father is called "Konstantin Ivanovich Ostrozhky". I hope I answered your question. --Irpen

Thanks for the explanation. Obviously my removal of the image was too hasty. My apologies. I would suggest appending this useful information to the image description. Balcer 00:09, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Done. Actually I made a mistake. The monument was dedicated to millenium of Rus' (Rurik's legendary accession) and not millenium of Baptism. We have a monument's picture in Wikipedia [1] and there is a good source for more info in Russian[2]

Someone, might write a Millenium of Rus' monument at some point and it's author Mikhail Mikeshin[3]. Ghirla, are you around :) ? --Irpen 04:30, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
