Shouldn't this be called a Ukrainian biographical stub, rather than Russian? Maybe a better description would be Soviet. I'd be hesitant to assign nationality to someone after they are dead. But if you do, go by birthplace. That makes him Ukrainian. Kevlar67 13:08, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Inconsistency in sources
The John Charles article states that burns covered 90 percent of Bondarenko's body. It also claims he was 23. However, the James Oberg source (which on its surface appears more believable, due to seemingly more plausible sources) correctly states that he was 24 (well, "correctly" assuming the date of his death is correct), and makes no claims about the coverage of the burns. Can we get another source to confirm the 90% figure, or failing that, go back to "most"? EAE (Holla!) 04:45, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
