"aimed at the return of the territories of ancient Rus lost to foreign invaders centuries before that."

Siberia, Armenia, Azerbeijan, Georgia, Kasakhstan ....... Interesting... . Sorry for that edit, but this could not remain standing. Refdoc 15:25, 12 Jan 2004 (UTC)

the strife between the nobility and the king, former favorite of the Russian Empress. - can we have the names of the King and the Empress? I thought it was an encyclopedia -- apoivre 19:42, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Actions in 1769 and 1773 are missing

edit

The first important battle was fought at Hotin, Ottomans repulsed Russian attack. Ottoman victory should be added. Also in 1773, Ottomans fought back and scored several victories, those should be added, too.

If anyone doesn't have any objections, I am going to add those.Noyan Sipahi (talk) 13:48, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Self-contradictory sentence

edit

This sentence doesn't make sense: "The war followed the external tensions within Poland." Or at least it's very unclear (I'm guessing that whoever wrote it had in mind a central subject which the war was external to - in other words, writing from the perspective of a particular country). Volunteer Marek  16:31, 4 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Russo-Turkish war is incorrect

edit

You cannot call this Russo-Turkish war becasue Turkey did not exist until later in the XX century. The correct name is Russo-Ottoman war. 213.27.190.94 (talk) 13:26, 7 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

There isn't a correct name. On Wikipedia we use the most common name used by English sources, which in this case is Russo-Turkish War. Lord Cornwallis (talk) 14:48, 7 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Armies

edit

How can tiny Crimean Khaganate have 100.000 soldiers while great Russian Empire have 125.000 soldiers. it was not convincing at all. Can you explain this ? 200.000 Ottoman soldier is also not convincing. 176.90.207.41 (talk) 20:07, 24 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Russia or Russian Empire

edit

In the article, Ottoman Empire is mentioned as Ottoman Empire or High Porte, but Russian Empire is mentioned as Russia (which is wrong). The correct way is Russian Empire. I'm suggesting renaming all "Russia" to "Russian Empire", if nobody objects.Iron Archer (talk) 16:03, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
