Talk:Motherland (Russia)

The Russian word Rodina is a generic word for Motherland, without any other additional meaning. Just like any other word it can be used in a political speech, but there is nothing special about it. The article is wrong to imply otherwise. The It lies in stark contrast to "Fatherland" which is used by Russia now is flat wrong. There is no contrast. Both words are in use. --Gene s 16:05, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Why "so-called" communist nations? Dahamsta 16:11, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I am not sure this article should exist at all. Why Motherland (Russia), but no Motherland (Uganda) or Motherland (the UK)? Should every translation of a Russian word get an article? --Gene s 09:10, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Perhaps this article should be renamed 'Rodina' instead of 'Motherland (Russia)' as the Russian name is normally used in any reference to the bloc in the English language press? Shotlandiya

I agree. I will rename the article now. Alsh 07:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Note the the Talk page is now at Talk:Rodina. I copied the old content from here. Alsh 08:55, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
