Talk:Sergei Parajanov

message: I do not consider IMDb a reliable source for the Parajanov family's original Armenian name, which is listed in the Wikipedia article as Փարաջանյան(Parajanian). It has often been assumed that this is the case, and even Parajanov apparently thought his family's original family name was "Parajanian." But a surviving historical document (the birth certificate of Parajanov's aunt Astkhik, dating from 1888) indicates that it was instead Փարաջանյանց (Parajaniants). A photographic reproduction of the certificate can be found in: Kaleidoskop Paradzhanov: risunok, kollazh, assambliazh, ed. Zaven Sarkisian (Yerevan: Muzei Segeia Paradzhanova, 2008), p. 8. 
Interestingly, the Armenian-language print of The Color of Pomegranates lists his last name as Փարաջանով (Parajanov), which is simply the Russified name transliterated back into Armenian. Also, it may not be correct to list his middle name/patronymic as Հովսեփի (Hovsepi); Иосифович (Iosifovich) is more likely. Remember that Parajanov's first language was Russian, he was educated in a Russian school in Tbilisi (Kaleidoskop, p.9), and he spoke very little Armenian by all accounts. Thus one could argue that Սարգիս Հովսեփի Փարաջանյան (Sargis Hovsepi Parajanian) is an Armenified name that has been synthesized by someone else after the fact.

message: I see about 500 Googles for Parajanov and about 20000 for Paradzhanov. In the interests of accessibility I suggest changing the name in Wikipedia to match the generally used one. Martin Cleaver 09:03, 31 December 2006
:Not from what I see.  "Parajanov", besides making more sense (the sound of "dzh" is equivalent to the sound of "j"), is the more widely used of the two.  56,100 to 19,800. 21,400 to 768. 1610 to 622.  However you look at it. Esn 09:00, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Parajanov vs. Paradzhanov

message: Parajanov was sentenced for his homosexuality - why is this side-stepped in the article?  He himself referred to this as being convicted "for raping a Communist party member" - this was hardly a setup by the authorities, as the article tries to paint.  Moreover, he was again sentenced in 1982 for a year for bribery - why is this left out?  Parajanov.com mentiones the second conviction in his bio, and the truth about the first one is all over the sources on the guy.
Don't denigrate Parajanov by lying about him.  He was a homosexual and briber, there is nothing to be ashamed about in that.
* Parajanov makes no mention of his aberration in "Confession", so his own position should be respected.Galassi 12:53, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
