[edit] Russians image

I will respond in regard to the image at its talk page. --Irpen 00:55, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Russians image

You cant have an image without Chaikovski, Tolstoi and Pushkin. Maybe they were not 100% ethnic Russians, but all aristocrats were mixed. Besides, most of their blod was Russian and they considered themselves Russian. Nevski doesnt fit, he might have fought against Tebtons but he was in favor of tatars against other Russian princes. Puter killed to much to enter here, just like Hittler couldnt enter the Germans image. AND WHY MOST HAVE 8 PEOPLE IMAGES, AND WE NEED TO HAVE 4? read back this conversation most supported the 8 people idea. Small ethnic groups?? are English, Italians and Ashkenazi Jews are "small ethnicities with a lack of confidence in their ethnic pride who post huge tables with like 16 faces"? All Ethnic Groups now created themselves high-level photos, uploading a weak photo and argument it as "were good anyway" is not serious. Being great and yet having a good photo is not a contrast you know. Pushkin was not 1/4 arab but 1/8 ARAP (which means slave), and the etnicity he was 1/8 was the black-African etnicity Eritrean. Why him? Because he's considered the greatest Russian poet?? And he was MOSTLY ethnic Russian. And you can't NOT put Dostoyevski, one of the greatest novelists. The trick is not to say "we are great so lets do a lousy photo", but to put a good photo! M.V.E.i. 22:39, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nice image, but the previous is more representetive

I returned the previous one. Russian literature is considered to be the best in the world, so it's not to much. You cant take out Mendeleyev, because his table was listed no1 in thi list of 10 greatest inventions released in an american newspapper that i don't remember it's name.. You cant not have Puwshkin, the one who started the whole thing of strong Russian literature. Dostoyevski and Tolstoy are the greatest novelists in the world, you can't take anyone from them out. About Zhukov or domskoy we still need to decide. But i have a seggestion, chose the one you like: 1. We create a 10 people photo (2 rows, 5 in each). 2. We create a 12 people photo (the more i think of it, the more i like the idea. 3 rows, 4 people in each). 3. We make a 15 people photo, 3 rows, 5 people in each. Your photo was really nice, but it was also to big, we need a size more nice for the eye (this one looks even nicer). M.V.E.i. 18:32, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You know what? another idea

Make your photo more little, and add Dostoyevski and Pushkin, and it will be a 10 people photo. With all my love to Yesenins poettry (His one of my favorites, together with Yevtushenko, Voznesenskiy, Dalmatovski and Tvardovski), i think we should replace him with Mendeleyev. You can come into my talk page and offer your ideas. M.V.E.i. 19:23, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] beautiful

But i thing another change should be done, i've wrote it on my talk page. If you want someone medieval instead of Donskoy, i think Ivan III (Ivan the great) is exelent for that. M.V.E.i. 20:11, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Glad that we managed to reach an agreement. Apologies for not answering to your posts on this page, I shall duplicate my replies in a couple of days. Humanophage 23:41, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Great job (i wrote a more detailed explanation on my talk page). M.V.E.i. 09:48, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Idea

As i already said, the image you made for Russians is wonderfull. But still, shure Yesenin is a great poet i love his poettry, but why not to enter Andrei Tarkovsky instead? He is more known world-wide so he's more representetive, and he also represents the great Soviet-Russian cinema. M.V.E.i. 12:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, I'm actually content with Yesenin in this case. The main reason for that is that I fail to find any good photographs of Tarkovsky, that is, his expression is usually insufficiently neutral, and his facial features are always obscured by some sort of shadow. The list could definitely use a woman though. Any candidates? Another idea is to place Nikolai Cherkasov there, since he's so photogenic and looks very Russian in his Nevsky attire, and he's famous. And Feodor Chaliapin is rather interesting as well. Humanophage 12:59, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Georgia

Hi, I noticed that you replied to a comment from User:Evpri on the Europe talk page. Please note that this is another usename of User:Polscience, a Georgian user who is currently banned. As you asked, why aren't the "European parts considered as those of Asian states extending into Europe?" the answer is that they are : ) Grinkov (talk) 11:08, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
