Soviet Union or Russia?
Since he migrated to Pakistan in 1950, he can be called a Soviet immigrant as the Soviet Union was the entity that existed during that period. However, the Soviet Union came into formation in 1922, and I am not sure what entity existed before that. As he was born in 1904, we need to determine for legal purposes what the political entity is where he was born. I will probably ask for help from WikiProject Russia on this as I'm not too sure. Any thoughts?  Mar4d  ( talk ) 18:47, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * It was the Russian Empire then. I've changed the text. —ШαмıQ ✍ @ 18:54, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for fixing that up. The question that arises now is what is the correct demonym for someone born in the Russian Empire? He can't be called Soviet-born obviously as Soviet Union did not exist in 1904, hence that mistake was fixed. Is someone born during the Empire called "Russian-born" or do we have another terminology? Just want to get the facts right ;)  Mar4d  ( talk ) 18:58, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think we have another demonym for the purpose... —ШαмıQ ✍ @ 19:14, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I asked for opinion from a member of WikiProject Russia, and 'Russian' is indeed the correct terminology for all subjects of the Russian Empire.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 09:43, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
