"Russian incumbents" is really vague. Change it to what it's supposed to mean. --Jiang 04:24, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)
I removed the bit about Battletech, which really doesn't belong here. He may have been mentioned in a comic book or two as well, but that wouldn't merit a mention in this article, either.
- Please remove the bit about White generals trying to "restore monarchy." This is quite untrue and they planned nothing of the sort. ouital77 04:43, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
- some of them did, though. not all but some. that's one of the reasons the whites failed, some wanted a return to something like the provisional government, some wanted a return to the monarchy, etc.
- Somehow this article seems to be slightly biased towards Kerenski's regime. It kind of makes lenin look evil and stuff like that, and I know its probably true it just needs to be changed slightly.--Aun'va 07:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pronunciation of Керенский
We say that the stress is on the first syllable - Ке́ренский. I've never heard him called that. It's always been Кере́нский, and that includes my very well informed teachers of the Russian language and Russian history. Is there an authoritative version? -- JackofOz 03:45, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- Probably his name was pronounced Кере́нский but now the majority of Russians pronounce it Ке́ренский as the former is somewhat counter-natural for present-day Russian language. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dojarca (talk • contribs) 15:48, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- Can you explain that? Are you referring to the Moscow manner of speaking, the St Petersburg, or some other? My teachers were all native-born Russians and I never heard them say the name that way. -- JackofOz 04:37, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- I refer to Moscow pronounciation. Yes, probably some very conservative teachers with special education in Russian language and literature can pronounce it Кере́нский but they also pronounce many words very differently from average Russian. For example they say творо́г instead of тво́рог and кофе in their laguage has musculine gender while most speakers of Russian would consider it neuter. I would consider it old style language. --Dojarca 15:38, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
