replies: text: Interesting question, but I do not know  the answer. As an initial guess based on Vasmer http://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/vasmer/42376/%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%BE I would think that the name was seen as coming from French Landau rather than German Alex Bakharev (talk) 03:07, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Stress in Landau

message: Here is a photocopy of his obituary in The Times:
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Obits/Landau_Lev.html
It would be very worthwhile to add to the article some details which can be found in the obituary, and add the obituary to the references.  It would be nice to get a more stable copy of the obit than this university webpage. 
I original got the obit from this page:

message: The text of the article states:
"For this work Landau received the Stalin Prize in 1949 and 1953"
But the INFOBOX says:
"Stalin Prize (1946)"
Can someone sort out the discrepancy? I see that there is a citation but it's behind a pay wall so I can't look at it and fix it myself.--S Philbrick(Talk) 12:55, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dates of Stalin Prize 

message: After unsuccessfully fighting the Russian chauvinism and Western stupidity that calls everyone from the USSR as “Russian”, I see that the current version settled on supposedly more neutral “Soviet” as a descriptor. In that case at least the following individuals should be upgraded to the neutral descriptors: Nikoloz Mushelishvili, Viktor Ambartsumian. They are currently listed as Soviet Georgian and a Soviet Armenian. Since we agreed that no other peoples other than Russians existed until 1991, these individuals who were born in Russian Empire and were Soviet citizens, should also be called Soviet scientists. The truth warriors of Wikipedia, I expect you to make the necessary changes and lock those articles as well to make sure the lowly non-Russians don’t change your opinions. Thank you. 85.51.226.249 (talk) 16:35, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: The reason why I have left it here is because it’s relevant here, thank you for your helpful comment. I’m not in the business of denying people their cultural identity, those who are, need to make those changes wherever necessary. 85.51.226.249 (talk) 15:03, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Funny how Wikipedia boosts one’s sense of self-importance. Let me guess, you have three references from an Armenian dude, an Iranian studies journal and some random Ben Fowkes quote that doesn’t even agree with your point. Brilliant scholarship, let me get you some medal. 85.51.226.249 (talk) 09:24, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: You’re right, lets stop using academic sources by well-educated authors, lets quote your brilliant and totally not pseudo-history words instead. HistoryofIran (talk) 10:29, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear History of Iran, as a supposedly Armenian-Iranian person I understand you have been fed on a particular diet of ethnic hatred, I was too, that’s just how it works in our geography, unfortunately. However maybe one lesson you could take from all this, is that showing sources that don’t even support your claims is not in itself an act of scholarship, it’s an act of throwing references at the other person. I wish you all the best in the rest of your life and hope you grow out of your prejudices. 85.51.226.249 (talk) 14:10, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
