Thanks. Now, here's what I'd like to know: why is it that you have to have a new username for every language? Marm

That's how it is. It really sucks :) --Amir E. Aharoni 08:52, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Minor edit

Hi,

Your contribution to Vasily Shukshin was very nice, but you shouldn't mark such a big edit as "minor". Even changing one word is not minor. Minor edits are only fixing typos and punctuation.

But again, the edit itself was excellent and much needed! Thanks! --Amir E. Aharoni 08:51, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Although I had no clue who Shukshin was... and so I got the pronunciation wrong. Preetty embarrassing.

That's what i'm here for :)

Shukshin was really one of the greatest Russian / Soviet writers and filmmakers, because he succeeded in making great art within the confines of the Soviet censorship. If you know Russian, you should read some of his books, they are easy to find :) --Amir E. Aharoni 09:26, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
