The guy seems to be a typical romantic hero of the epoch - a freedom-fighter, a Russophobe, and a "revolutionary". Encyclopedia needs a more cautionary approach to such half-legendary figures who owe their importance to nationalist mythology only. Unbridled enthusiasm, in which the article is steeped, is unencyclopedic. --Ghirla | talk17:43, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You again, huh? Apparently you had not noticed that the guy spent most of his life collaborating with Russians and most of his ideas were simply those of the (Russian) Decembrists. If that is also Russophobia then please be so kind as to tell me if there were any non-russophobes in the history of mankind... Also, could you be a tad more specific? What's exactly wrong with this article? Halibutt21:29, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
He's a rebel, an international terrorist and the enemy of the legitimate authorities. Ought to mention it in the article, but it has only Soviet (liberal) interpretation of his activities against the legal order of States. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.147.153.51 (talk) 21:24, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
