::::::Just one of a number of problems with 2010, the biggest being that it was mostly "literal" rather than artsy the way Kubrick did it. And if neither "Russian" nor "Soviet" is used in the film, we can't very well use it in this article, either, unless we can find citations that declare them to be "Soviets" (or "Russians" as Americans would say - though they could just as easily be Ukranian.) And what they later decided to do in 2010 has no bearing on a discussionof 2001. ← '''' →
