A fact from Lidia Ruslanova appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 December 2005. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Soviet singer Lidiya Ruslanova financed the construction of two Katyusha batteries, which she presented to the Red Army in 1942?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2005/December.

Untitled

Please stop. Your information is wrong. Ruslanova has been totally neglected and she received no awards after her release. She ended her life in semi-obscurity. Her only official title was Заслуженная артистка РСФСР, conferred upon her for the touring during the war. The Communist Party would never confirm any award bestowed upon this matershinnitsa. Klavdiya Shulzhenko was the first female pop singer to become People's Artist of USSR in 1970. Please read any book about either Ruslanova or Shulzhenko, and you will get the idea. The same data is contained in the "Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Great Patriotic War" (1985). So please cool off and return with proper refs but remember that recent references are frequently unreliable on such matters. --Ghirla | talk 16:22, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Zhukov

I thought it was known that Lidiya was considered a Zhukov supporter by Stalin? And that Stalin, rather than taking on Zhukov himself, considered too popular, decided to eliminate all people he considered would welcome a Zkukov takeover? I am preparing an article on Pyotr Leshchenko - who after the war wanted to "return" to the Soviet Union. There is a claim that it was Zhukov who saved Leshchenko from arrest when the Red Army invaded Bucharest. So, after the war, PL naively supposed that Zhukov and his entourage would help him to return - not knowing that Stalin was in fact rounding up all artists whom Zhukov had befriended and trying to get them to testify against Zhukov. Lidiya Ruslanova is also mentioned in this list.

Is all this rumour and nothing else? --[[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy)--pgp 11:48, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I believe it is little more than a rumour. Let's see what others think. It would have been great to see Pyotr Leshchenko started. By the way, use four tildas (~) to sign your posts.

Among emigrés here in Australia it has been said that Stalin was after Ruslanove and had her husband incarcerated to have him out of the way. But he was also accused of looting in Berlin. I would not be surprised if it was true.

On a more concrete level, there exists a photo of Ruslanova on the steps of the very kauptt Berlin Reichstag in 1945 with a soldier or two and an accordion. That would add to the article; otherwise do a picture search Ruslanova+Reichstag Or Ruslanowa+Reichstag. Balalaika 500 (talk) 03:54, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ethnicity

Shouldn't it be specified somewhere that she was an ethnic Mordvin (Erzya)? Also her real surname might be worth a mention. --194.72.81.141 (talk) 15:12, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
