Talk:Chort

"Tysiacha chertei"added by Morzh

Quoting this as a "Russian swearing" is incorrect, as this particular one is not actually an authentic Russian swearing but a calque from "mille diables" and similar other Western swearings, used in particular in translations of "Les Trois Mousquetaires" or some pirate epics. "Chort poberi / chort voz'mi" is another matter, this one is used quite often as an interjection of frustration or exasperarion, or strong displeasure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.255.123.50 (talk) 21:33, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Connection with Krampus
It seems to me, by the pictures on Krampus page that Krampus and Chort are either the same thing or are closely related. Shouldn't there be something about it in either article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.113.16.96 (talk) 13:14, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * In my opinion they aren't the same thing. Krampus comes from folklore of the Alps, while Chort is Slavic. In the former Austrian monarchy the two traditions merged and so the Slavic peoples call the helpers of St. Nicholas Chort, while in Austria they call them Krampus.--115.178.26.192 (talk) 17:50, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Suspicious Turkish "Chor"
It seems to me that the section describes Jinn rather than Chort and that it has nothing to do with the Slavic Chort. I've therefore added the template Disputed.--115.178.26.192 (talk) 17:50, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Russian sayings
I removed from the lead section "тысяча чертей" ("tysyacha chertey"). It is very literary and mainly associated with translations from French, especially with Dumas-père, especially with Mousqetaires, and especially D'Artagnan. 2dk (talk) 11:30, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
