The picture isn't really good, and the repositioning messes up the layout of the header paragraph.--tufkaa (talk) 19:46, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this still categorised as a Russian Dance?

Er, I think it's time to move it. Read an article on it. It'd been aeons since it was first added as being a Russian folk dance. Given that all the referenced to the article exclusively refer to it as a Ukrainian dance, it kind of leave us with egg on our face continuing the 180 degrees on ourselves.

Well, Ukrainians are a russian subgroup so I dont see a reason to move it Phillipm0703 (talk) 20:17, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because Ukrainians are Russians according to both Encyclopedia Britannica 11th Edition (1911) or any earlier; as well as ultranationalistic newspaper "Svoboda" in Canada, 1914 or any earlier, which refers to itself as "руський" vs more modern Russian word "русский", which can easily be tracked to Polish-Russian spelling reforms of 188x from pre-reformed Russian language (before 1918) using lots of Er' letter ("Ь ь"/"Ѣ ѣ") thus it wasn't pronounced -> "руський" == "рус(с)кий".

The dance itself was created in Soviet Union, 1937 and any previous date is fallacy. 89.1.190.40 (talk) 06:28, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
