Talk:Rodion Malinovsky

message: ----
The myth about Malinovsky's  Karaite descent appeared in the 1990s. His children had never heard the word "Karaite" until the Karaites visited Malinovsky's daughter Natalia in 1998.
" His father abandoned the family" – There was no family, the marriage was never registered.
"His mother … remarried. Her new husband ..." – his mother was married only once.
See the birth documents in the Russian Wikipedia (Malinovsky - discussion). My approximate translation of the birth register book: Radion, illegitimate child, born Nov. 10. 1898, christened Nov. 22 1898, Mother: Varvara Nikolaeva Malinovskaya, девица – that is unmarried woman.

message: Сам ты крымский караим.
It is a characteristic feature of the Rossiiskaia evreiskaia entsiklopedia - to include prominent people, who were not actually Jews but whose origin is not quite clear. Malinovsky's daughter Natalia is sick and tired of reading of her Jewish, Russian, etc. origin. She is neither an anti-Semite, nor anti-caraite; all these speculations about her father's nationality are simply not true.
Malinovsky was an illegitimate child of a Ukranian mother. In his memoirs he wrote that he did not know who his father was. Nor does his daughter know who was her paternal grandfather. Mrs. Malinovskaya contacted the authors of the Rossiiskaia evreiskaia entsiklopedia and they could not present any prove supporting their statements in the entsiklopedia. 
Mrs. Malinovskaya is going to give me some materials to include into the article about her farther in the Russian wikipedia. Ludmilasv 06:19, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Is this really a critical article? It sounds more like a white washing PR piece to me (not a single critical word?). 
At least the parts about  him opposing the Cuban missile move doesn't agree with what I just read in a book about the Cuba crisis. -AK
:then instead of criticizing the article on the talk page, why not take the time and add that information you read to the article itself? Travb (talk) 14:45, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: critical article

message: This site states, that: "The surname of MALINOWSKI is a Polish and Jewish habitation name from a place named with the Polish 'malina' meaning raspberry, possibly in effect an occupational name for a grower of the fruit. As a Jewish surname, it may well be one of the many Ashkenazic surnames taken from words of fruit or plants."
Before ww2, Odessa was russian speaking and jewish town, not ukranian town.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.226.123.131 (talk) 15:15, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Jewish?

message: 'Malina' means raspberry probably in most (if not in all) Slavic laguages. As an example, there is quite common surname "Malinovský" (which is transcription of Malinowski) in the Czech or Slovak languages with no connection toward Jewish population.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.112.226.9 (talk) 21:40, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

message: Where this fragment came from?
Born in Odessa, some historians believe that Malinovsky's father was of Karaite descent.[1] In search for a livelihood after his father was killed, his mother[citation needed] left the city for the rural areas of Ukraine, and remarried. Her husband, a poverty-stricken Ukrainian peasant, refused to adopt her son and expelled him when Malinovsky was only 13 years old. The homeless boy survived by working as a farm-hand, and eventually received shelter from his aunt's family in Odessa, where he worked as an errand boy in a general store. He was known to have brilliant courage and resiliency.[citation needed]
The only reference, given after the first sentence, does not verify anything in this fragment.--71.178.109.96 (talk) 22:29, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Blog or encyclopaedic article? 

message: *Aleksandr Vasilevsky led the offensive, see any of the following sources, albeit Malinovsky led the main attack. A reliable source is needed to revert back to the previous role suggesting the overall success of the offensive was due to his employment of only a portion of the Soviet forces involved. Likewise, a RS is needed to support the emotional/national/prestige uplift of the campaign and how that was due to Malinovsk.

thread_title:  Role in Manchuria 

message: The article previously did not include Malinovsky's role in impeding any rapprochement between the USSR and China, when in his November meeting between USSR and Chinese delegations in Romania he said to Chinese Marshal He Long and asked when China would finally get rid of Mao like the CPSU had disposed of Khrushchev."Dogru144 (talk) 04:41, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
