Coincidence? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.11.110.86 (talk) 11:37, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the "Nickovetch" middle name, Russians do not use the letter "c" for "k" sound, but for the "s" sound, so I propose we change it to "Illya Kikovitch Kuryakin". OK? 67.55.221.15 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 03:01, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not only Ukrainians in Kiev

The article states: "Kuryakin is consistently referred to as a ‘Russian’, however he appears to have spent at least some of his childhood in Kiev, Ukraine…"

Kiev is full of ethnic Russians, only the western part of Ukraine is homogenously Ukrainian. Also the Crimea is mostly Russian, just because it's in Ukraine doesn't mean it can't be Russian.Historian932 (talk) 18:12, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The show refers to "Georgia in the Ukraine" - these are now two independent countries. I think the geography is not meant to be taken thawt seriously. More likely they are using Russian and Soviet as synonyms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.212.36.193 (talk) 22:40, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
