Talk:Arsen Kotsoyev

Disputed
According to the German Wikipedia Kotsoyev was awarded a NKVD medal for his merits to the "intelligence service" in 1939. That was one year after the end of the Great Purge. Was has he done in that time? His work for the Cheka and later organisations is not even mentioned in the article. That has to be clarified. -- Irakli D 09:51, 19 November 2006 (UTC)


 * As far as I know, it was actually a civilian decoration, an Order of the Badge of Honor, that was awarded to him in 1939. He had very strong ties with the "Old Bolsheviks" and it is really surprising how he survived Stalinist purges.--Kober 11:03, 19 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I've never heard or read about Kotsoyev's work for Cheka. The sources mention that he died in relative poverty, he was obviously not a favourite among his colleagues. His works (I've read many) are not-so-pro-Soviet, and I wonder too, how he survived during the Purge. Maybe he was just forgotten. - Slavik IVANOV 23:42, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

The fact that something isn't mentioned doesn't really qualify for tagging the entire article as disputed. If you can verify this, please provide sources and add them to the article. Khoikhoi 08:50, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Was added by a Columbia University IP along with many other links t the site. I have moved it hear in keeping with our external links guidelines so unconnected editors can evaluate it's appropriateness. It seems like a short entry that doesn't contain much more than this article. It might be a good source even if editors do not consider it an appropriate external link. -- SiobhanHansa 21:26, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

founder?
"Arsen Kotsoyev (Ossetic: Коцойты Арсен) (January 15, 1872 - February 4, 1944) is one of the founders of Ossetic prose, who had a large influence in the formation of the modern Ossetic language and its functional styles." He might be one of the founders of written Ossetic prose, but I don't see how he could be a founder of all prose. (Not all definitions of prose exclude non written language.) I also don't understand how he "had a large influence in the formation of the modern Ossetic language" since Ossetic was not a new language (just a newly written language).
