The Russian version disagrees with the English version here. The Russian article says that Hitler did not call Marinesku, claims only 5300 people died, and that Marinesku was praised for the attack. The Russian article also does not talk about the controversial nature of the sinking, nor the non-military people on board. -- IlyaHaykinson23:55, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
I've removed: Alexander Marinescu (romanian transcription, as he was romanian ethnically) - added by anonymous user. Russian sources say he was Ukrainian, so we need a confirmation if he was Romanian ethnically. Besides, he was not called Marinescu, but Marinesko, even if it is true.

I am currently reading Crabwalk by Gunter Grass, which states that his father was Romanian (by which, I guess, is meant "from Romania", and not Moldovan, Bessarabian, etc.). The "-sco" ending is a frequent trasliteration of the "-scu" one, and it was common habit at the time for a Romanian to transliterate his or her name when using it among foreigners (see Eugene Ionesco, Helene Vacaresco etc) - his father may have opted to do so himself, or authorities might have changed it for him (Grass -or rather, Grass' first person narrator- claims the latter happened, but that is just an opinon). The issue of Ukrainian in Russian sources refers to any or all of these: his Ukrainin mother, the fact that he was born in Odessa, the hostility between Romanians and Soviets, the issue of Moldovans/Romanians. I suggest inclusion in Category:People of Romanian descent pending the creation of more definite ones (if the latter is indeed possible, given the Moldovan issue in between Romanians and cats for "Romanian Russians", "Romanian Ukrainians", "Romanian Soviet citizens"...).
