Talk:Nikita the Tanner

Untitled
The name of the article has to be corrected to "Nikita the Tanner" cause of Nikita was The Tanner not The Furrier. It seems to me that it changes sense of the name! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nike85 (talk • contribs) 14:48, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. Also, corrected the name spelling in accordance with English sources, wich use the more popular Russian speling of his name.Garret Beaumain (talk) 20:36, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Nikita the Tanner is not a "Medieval Russian tale" because at the time, there was no such thing as Russia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kievan_Rus%27); moreover, according to recent findings of Volodymyr Bilinsky (http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%91%D1%96%D0%BB%D1%96%D0%BD%D1%81%D1%8C%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%92%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%80_%D0%91%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BD%D1%96%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87) Russia cannot be considered a Slavic country OR have any connection to Kievan Rus.

These claims are counter to the generally accepted consensus. At most, "Medieval Russian" could be replaced with "Kievan Rus". Takkyon (talk) 07:44, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
