[edit] Konev or Koniev

I see this page was moved from Ivan Koniev to Ivan Konev a few months ago, but in the text, and in many other articles, he is still consistantly refered to as Ivan Konev. Which should it be? Shanes 01:58, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Konev or Koniev

It should be Konev in English. Pronunciation in Russian is also Ivan Konev (same as written name). --Adomas vitas 10:13, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

It was falsely atated in the article that Koniev's command was redesignated the 4th Ukrainian front in 44'. in actual fact the 4th Ukrainian front was formed from the 1st ukrainian front's left flank, with Petrov placed in its command. Koniev's command retained the designation the 1st Ujrainian Front to the end of the war. it is also stated that said 4th Ukrainian Front ostensibly under Koniev's command "advanced into Slovakia and helped slovak partisans in their rising against German occupation". this is entirely false. Koniev's attempt to force the Carpathians during the ill-fated uprising failed with the Soviets suffering heavy losses (the battle is described in detail in John Erickson's "The Road To Berlin"0. It was then that the 4th Ukrainian Front was established. By the time it forced the Carpathians the uprising, that had not been a great challenge to the Germans to begin with, was long over.
