Talk:Moscow Uprising (1611)

Casualty Rate During the Moscow Uprising (1611)
The article mentions a massacre orchestrated by the Poles during the Moscow Uprising of 1611, with an estimated casualty figure of 6-7 thousand Muscovites.

This information is sourced from an article on press.lv, which states: 'По подсчетам современных историков, во время восстания погибли примерно 7 тыс. горожан.' ('According to the calculations of modern historians, about 7 thousand citizens died during the uprising.').

However, the referenced article does not provide a link to any research by historians substantiating this figure.

Moreover, the press.lv article is a re-publication of another piece from aif.ru titled 'Московская резня 1611 г. Как впервые была сказана фраза «шапками закидаем»' ('The Moscow Massacre of 1611. When was the phrase 'we will throw hats on' first said'). The aif.ru article, too, lacks reference to any research, and its author (profile: https://aif.ru/opinion/author/358 ) is not a historian.

Hence, the casualty figure of 6-7 thousand cited in the article remains unverified, and the source appears to be of low credibility. Crop stuff (talk) 14:36, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I can find no evidence that WP:RFCBEFORE was even tried, let alone exhausted. In any case, you don't need a full-blown thirty-day formal RfC for this. Just discuss it here in the normal way. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 16:04, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
