[edit] Language

I'm not a native speaker of Russian or Ukrainian. As such, corrections to the introductory sentence are especially welcome. E.g., is the market's name (from the website) Russian or Ukrainian? Sandstein 15:47, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

It is Russian. —DDima (talk) 20:30, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seventh or Seven

Is it supposed to be Seventh or Seven? I always thought it was 7.Travb 23:25, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Do you mean as a matter of the English language? Then it's Seventh, as the market is on the seventh kilometer of the airport road. Seven-Kilometer-Market would make sense if the market was seven km long, or something like that. Sandstein 05:36, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Kewl, thanks.Travb 07:17, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] the collapse of Communism

It is written "Founded in 1989 after the collapse of Communism, it is now possibly the largest market in Europe." But i think (I know) communism collapsed in 1991. How 1989 can be after 1991. Sorry for my bad english. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.77.216.15 (talk • contribs).

USA government think that collapse has started in 1991 (www.state.gov). Actually market foundation made possible because of Perestroika reforms. But I agree - some rewording will be fine. --TAG 16:53, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Weasel words

"rent for up to USD 6,000 (EUR 4,700) or more per month." - that doesn't actually tell us anything. Something like "rent for an average of $x per month, with some over $y (as of #date)" would be better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by M0ffx (talk • contribs)

Sure. Feel free to add this once you find a source for it. As it is, we have only what the NYT wrote. Sandstein 11:22, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
