Talk:Semyon Bobrov

Further work

The Russian article cites as sources various monographies by V. Korovin, which I try to find at some library in order to clarify some points in the article. I would especially like to cite some samples of the neologisms coined by Bobrov that have survived to the present day.

On the talk page of the Russian article somebody gives the two original quotations from Radishchev stating that he cannot find any traces of derision in them; while it might be true that the attitude of R to B must rather be derived from the larger context of the known positions of both of them, I would at some later time like to give a translation of these quotations.

The Severnij Vestnik has an English article, which at present, however, cannot be linked to this article, as it refers only to the publication flourishing 1895 - 1898 (to which a guy dead since 1810 can scarcely have contributed, presumably...) omitting any reference to the two other publications of the same name; "ours" would be the monthly appearing in 1804 - 1805; so, for a meaningful link - in the Russian originals, a uselesse link in the manner described above is unfortunately made - we have to wait for someone to fill the gap - or, eventually, fill it ourselves...

At long last I want to apologise for having dared to translate in the wrong direction, viz not into my native tongue, and to thank in advance those cowikipedians who kindly undertake to eradicate may "teutonisms"...
