Talk:Petro Grigorenko

Grigorenko or Hryhorenko
I reverted the move of Grigorenko to Hryhorenko as per follows. Yes, he IS an ethnic Ukrainian and be him a modern politician of Ukraine or smth like this, he would have certainly be called Hryhorenko in English, like we are using Ukrainian spellings for Volodymyr Lytvyn, Petro Poroshenko, Oleksandr Moroz, etc.

Hryhorenko, however, entered the world news long time ago and, justly or not, he is called Grigorenko by the world media. You can conduct a google test and see the difference in usage. Our job, at encyclopedia, is not to "promote" the "correct" usage but to reflect the prevailing usage and the prevailing usage is determined by the English language media. Before moving the articles, please propose the move first and wait a little bit for responses in the future? Thanks! --Irpen 17:37, 26 November 2005 (UTC)


 * So Petro Grigorenko is the most accurate and historically honest way to name that great man.
 * His memoirs were first published in English in 1980, and in Ukrainian ("Spohady") in 1984. In both cases they were translated from Russian, the language in which he wrote them. Rustat99 (talk) 10:04, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Errors
Moscow Helsinki Group was created in 1976 - so the words "in 1960s Grigorenko became a member of the Moscow Helsinki Watch Group" are wrong —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nr10232 (talk • contribs) 20:57, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Pyotr or Petro?
According to Google Scholar, the use of 'Petro' is far more common than 'Pyotr'. This article space should become the redirect, and the Petro nomenclature the article space. An informal WP:RM, anyone? --Iryna Harpy (talk) 21:11, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Grigorenko and Crimea
I was disappointed to find that Grigorenko's key role in supporting the Crimean Tatar movement for a return to the historic motherland was not really considered in this text, and yet it explains why he was lured to Tashkent, put on trial there and then sent (yet again) to a psychiatric hospital.

Accordingly, I am making one addition to the External Links, of all the mentions of P.G. Grigorenko in the "Chronicle of Current Events" (1968-1982).
