I've changed 'Fatherland' to 'Motherland', which is the correct translation. Fatherland in Russian is 'otchestvo', whereas 'rodina' is motherland. Shotlandiya 15:08, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
This article should include the Russian name, and the best possible translation of the name, as well... Russian experts needed! —Nightstallion (?) 20:07, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- I added the name in Russian, as well as the link to the official website. Unfortunately, it seems that things are still in the state of flux—there is no documentation for the new party available on the website yet, only that for "Rodina", which means that the exact punctuation used in the official name of the party may be slightly different. Should be good enough for now, though.
- As for the English name, "Just Russia" and "Fair Russia" are technically the most accurate translations. The former, however, is confusing in that it can be interpreted as "just Russia, nothing else", which is incorrect. Other translations can be used as well, as there is neither an "official name in English" nor an established variant consistently used by the English language press. Again, it may be worth waiting a bit more, meanwhile listing all names that's been used in the press so far.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 20:28, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
As a Russian speaker I would have said "Just Russia" would be more accurate than "Fair Russia" but can see the confusion, but I'm not particularly minded to start an edit war as I think the explanation above does it justice. Shotlandiya 12:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
I vote to change the name to "Just Russia". "Fair" and "Just" are not equivalent, and the latter describes the intended meaning much more effectively.
[edit] Gryzlov
Gryzlov is the current leader of United Russia, not an ex-leader. Netrat_msk (talk) 16:53, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
