[edit] Nomenclature

Given that he is now an Israeli and that Natan is his Israeli name, it should appear in the Hebrew alphabet, not the Russian. Adam 08:02, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

I'd say both. Since he is a notable leader of the Russian community in Israel, the Cyrillic could be also useful (for google search, etc) after Hebrew. ←Humus sapiens←Talk 08:10, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

On a related note, when did he change the romanization of his surname from "Shcharansky" to "Sharansky"? I seem to remember seeing it spelled with the initial "Shch" (Щ) during his Soviet captivity...but that was a long time ago. Ellsworth 21:40, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism of Book cover

Somebody changed the book cover to a smiley face. I can't find the original in the file history which is exceedingly weird. Is it legal to use the image off of amazon? ie http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/1891620029.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V1056536174_.jpg ?
