Anti-semitism[edit]

Do this claim really hold? Quoted from article:

Contrary to popular belief, Semyonov was not an anti-Semite, though one author insists that Semyonov handed out copies of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to the Japanese troops he became associated with[3]. In February 1919, it is said that he allowed a Jewish unit to form in his Cossack-dominated army. His most illustrious mistress and partner in crime was a Jewish cabaret singer named Mashka Sharaban.

As an analogy, there were probably many European officers in Africa during the colonial times, who had both native mistresses and soldiers, but still were racists. If we have a source for Semyonov distributing the Protocols, but no source saying he was NOT an anti-semite, then I think Wikipedia should keep the sourced version. I will add a citation needed tag, and if none is provided for, the paragraph should be changed.83.250.229.5 (talk) 16:31, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV?[edit]

"In July 1917, Semyonov left the Caucasus and was appointed Commissar of the Provisional Government in the Baikal region, responsible for recruiting counterrevolutionary volunteer military units." Really? If he was a representative of the government established by the Febrary Revolution, it is quite doubtful he would have recruited counterrevolutionary units. However, such units must have been described as counterrevolutionary after October 1917 by the Soviet government. And that's the point of view Wikipedia currently represents. Should it remain so? --Oop (talk) 09:31, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Date of death[edit]

We show both 29 and 30 August. Which is it? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 19:45, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
