Revision as of 12:07, 4 February 2005 by Gene s (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Please do not call Russian everybody who was born in the Soviet Union or the Russian Empire! People can consider it as neglecting their true ethnic identity. It may offend people.
The word "Russian" may be misinterpreted by the reader. It is not clear what it means in this context: citizenship or ethmicity. The article contains information that L.D.Landau was born in the Russian Empire. So you do not loos any information removing "Russian" from the first sentence. Please do revert.

- Please do not confuse ethnicity with relationship to a country. See the definition of Russian, particularly the last entry in the definition. If anyone would follow your logic, there would be no American people at all, because almost everyone there is an emmigrant. As for Landau, he was born in the Russian Empire, spoke Russian, lived in Moscow, died in Moscow, rests in Moscow. Looks like Russian applies to him. --Gene s 12:07, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
