[edit] Comments

Has the author of the article ever heard about Pushkin's The Prisoner of Caucasus? Oh, never mind... --Ghirla^-трёп- 07:04, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, there should be something in the article about the 19th century Russian obsessions with the Caucasus, and the beauty of its female inhabitants. Meowy 17:34, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Marx quote is incorrect

The Marx quote is in fact Marx quoting someone else - there is no indiciation that he agrees with it either.The article can be found here . He's quoting a Herr Hugo in order to criticise his historical school of law, and indeed he follows the quote about Circassians with "(Listen to the old man!)" - he is ridiculing the assertion.

I'd suggest that the Marx reference either be removed or heavily modified. R 79.75.158.71 (talk) 10:54, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

'Herr Hugo' is Gustav Hugo. Altered accordingly. Paul B (talk) 12:47, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
