Talk:Yefim Karsky

Rewrite 1/1/2016
Essentially what I've done is reorganized the list-formatted biography into sections of prose, and moved the Belarusians section into the biography. There is still no formal in-article citationing, and there are some parts that remain oddly-worded. Tpdwkouaa (talk) 23:16, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Have you even read Karsky his work 'Belorusi'? There he studies the White-Russian dialect, he also proves the cultural, linguistic links with the Great-Russian lanuage. He didn't define White-Russians as an independant group, he described the Russian people as White-Russians, Little-Russians, Great-Russians. He only studied the White-Russian culture and proved the influence of Polish and Lithuanian language on the 'Western-Russian language' which has formed into the White-Russian dialect.

As I understand his works were re-published in the Soviet-union with re-edits in order to sustain the idea of an independant White-Russian nation and support the 'Belorussification' policy of the Soviets. Karsky was also fired because of this from the academy during the Soviet-union. Calling him a remnant of the old imperial regime.

Karsky or Karskiy?
The article is listed under the former, but that form doesn't occur in the article. -- Evertype·✆ 14:21, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I suspect both are validI don't know if any literature appears under his romanized namebut if "Karskiy" is preferred then the article should be moved. That ought to be discussed in advance, though. In the meantime, you're correct, the spelling should be consistent, and I've made it so. Largoplazo (talk) 17:30, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
