Talk:Votkinsk

Kamsko-Votkinsk
According to some references, Tchaikovsky was born in "Kamsko-Votkinsk". Was this what the place was called in 1840? If so, when and why did it change? If not, what does the "Kamsko" refer to? == JackofOz 03:56, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yup, Votkinsk used to be called "Kamsko-Votkinsk", albeit not officially. "Kamsko-" refers to the Kama River (of which the Votka River, from which the "Votkinsk" part takes root, is a tributary).  The settlement in which Tchaikovsky was born had always been officially called "Votkinsk", but since it was built around Kamsko-Votkinsky Plant, the names were sometimes used interchangeably.  Hope this helps.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:04, 17 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes it does, very much, and thank you. (This 4-year delay between answer and thanks must be some sort of record, but not one I'm seeking to break any time soon.  Sorry about that.)  --   Jack of Oz   [your turn]  02:21, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
