Talk:Reaction of Russian intelligentsia to the 2014 annexation of Crimea

Article Name
The title is an unusual choice of English, or am I misreading it somehow?

 * It means "Reaction of the Russian intelligentsia to events happened in the Crimea in 2014". My English is not perfect. I can write in Ukrainian or Russian if you understand.--Trydence (talk) 17:12, 20 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Trydence, "2014_Russian_intelligentsia_reaction_on_events_happened_in_Crimea" is ungrammatical and ver-rrrr-y long. I don't have a clear suggestion but perhaps "Russian reaction/opposition to the annexation of Crimea' would be better, you don't need to state the year in the title, and 'intelligentsia' is almost impossible to define (besides, only notable people get their letters noticed!). It is going to be difficult to keep this article neutral, though I wish you luck. Endrū Hejs, has improved the English, but there is still some awkward phrasing.Pincrete (talk) 21:40, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

"...It is enough to read uncensored media or numerous judgments in social networks to see that political scientists, economists, people who are professionally related to foreign policy, or just people that are endowed with any social intuition are warning that Russia is coming to a real catastrophe — economic, political, humanitarian."

A carefully worded statement, that just happens to reflect the true state grass-roots feelings within Russia? Or the start of yet another fake US backed Color Revolution within Russia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.20.241.120 (talk) 20:24, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Intelligentsia: narrow group of 'correct' thinkers
In this case, might not the term "Russian intelligentsia" have been used to imply that Russian people are willingly allowing themselves to be conned by Putin, and that only the (non)elected few have the insight and understanding to save the Russians from themselves? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.20.241.120 (talk) 19:56, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

The article is unprecize or biased
The page describes critics of the annexation by a small group. Another part of the Russian intelligentsia supports the annexation: Nikita Mikhalkov.Xx236 (talk) 06:39, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
