• Viapori Rebellion. Why "Viapori"? Was Vyborg called that in 1906? --Ghirla ^-трёп- 14:44, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

  It's not Vyborg per se, it's the old Finnish name of the Suomenlinna fortress.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:09, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

  Oh, I see... then it should be Sveaborg Rebellion, no? What was the status of the Finnish language in the Russian Empire? --Ghirla ^-трёп- 15:27, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

  That I don't know for sure. With Finland being part of Russia at that time, I would think that the Finnish name makes more sense than the Swedish one, but I don't have sources to back that up. Finnish language enjoyed official status in Finland then (which was not the case when Finland was a part of Sweden, by the way), which also plays in favor of the Finnish name being used. Don't know if this helps.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:55, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

  I don't care about the Swedish name, really. The official Russian name in the period was Свеаборг, that's all that matters. And the official language of the Russian Empire was Russian. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 16:38, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

  It was co-official with Finnish in Finland then. I guess it all boils down to how this event is called in English. Google books isn't of much help here, unfortunately—it gives two hits for "Viapori rebellion" and none for "Sveaborg rebellion". In regular google, however, "Sveaborg" prevails, with several sites being Finnish even. I'd say "Sveaborg" needs at the very least be mentioned as an alternative name.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:55, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

  Yup. I believe it's often considered^{[weasel words]} "one of the worst movies ever made", because the whole plot is just beyond understanding of most Westerners. You can have tons of fun reading through the viewers' reviews at IMDB, though.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:17, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

  Can anybody check how these battles are called in the mainstream historiography? Once again - as in the case of Polish and Swedish wars - the Wikipedia coverage is such that you get an impression that the Great Patriotic War consisted of the endless chain of "German tactical victories". One likes to know how it happened that the Russians ended all those wars in Warsaw, Berlin, or Umeå.
