Talk:Bard (Soviet Union)

message: The follwong phrase was removed from the article:
:Some of them romanticized the Bolshevik Commissars and the times of the Great Dream, when the world was painted into two colors: white and red, and when it was clear who is friend and who is enemy.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I humbly ask you not to put your political preferences into this article. Stating something like "it was clear who was the enemy in the times of the Great Dream", meaning the times of Russian Civil War, means only that it was, probably, clear to the author's ancestors. The times that, for some, were "Great Dream", for others were the times of destruction, violence, humiliation. We are not going to continue civil war on these pages, are we? So, please, I beg, no statements like this one.
Thanks,
Vlad Patryshev

*The phrase is easily correatable by a single word:
Some of them romanticized the Bolshevik Commissars and the times of the Great Communist Dream, when the world was painted into two colors: white and red, and when it was clear who is friend and who is enemy.
And there is no political preference: it was indeed a dream of millions, unfortunately turned into a nightmare. Besides, we are talking about political preferences of the authors of the songs, not about those of wikipedia authors. Mikkalai 03:19, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Some bards, like Vladimir Vysotsky, Yuri Vizbor, Sergey Nikitin, Bulat Okudzhava, Alexander Rosenbaum wrote songs about the Great Patriotic War and the Civil War, romanticizing the Bolshevik Commissars.
What's so political in songs about WWII sufferings? And "romanticizing the commissars" is a skewed presentation of the Civil War theme. Mikkalai
Mikkalai: why precisely did you revert my edit? The first part is deinitely bad English, the current  version implies there were only two bards. The second I am not happy with myself, but I think the senetence needs to be rewritten, as it's not quite grammatical. Ornil 17:36, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

text: Sorry, I intended to revert only your second edit: the word "were" was already present in the sentence, which is, you are right needs a rewrite anyway. Mikkalai 20:50, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)
