Talk:Elisabeth Bagréeff-Speransky

Russian Wikipedia version
Dickinson noted in 2019 that Russian Wikipedia contained a variant story of Speranskaya's life. Having read the source, it is based on a diary entry by Korff from 23 January 1843 and refers to a single incident in her life and his speculation about it. The diary remained unpublished for 161 years, but Korff did write other articles about her which were published. His statements do not appear to be supported by published accounts of her life in other sources, including Korff's own published information about her. Duret specifically refutes the claims made by Korff and gives a completely different version of Speranskaya and her husband's meeting in 1842. As the information appears to violate WP:UNDUE for English.wp, Korff's private thoughts and unsubstantiated claim from his diary should not be introduced to the article.
