== Unexplained 2 year gap ? == | |||
I'd like you to note that emotional stress is not necessary for encyclopedian article. Most monarchs had to finish off their rivals, and we don't call them "bloody". According to your tactics, we should mention that William the Conqueror was a bastard, and so on. | |||
Besides, Malusha was not a slave girl but a housekeeper at Olga's house (ключница). | |||
Уважаемый! | |||
у каждого явления существует две стороны. как у медали. вот, например, Малуша, с одной стороны, была рабыня, никто этого не отрицает, с другой, она стала ключницей, т.е. фактически была домоуправительницей - очень большим человеком в доме. | |||
можно писать и так и этак. | |||
меня интересует, почему Вы, человек из России, предпочитаете акцентировать внимание иностранцев на темной стороне российской истории? | |||
Hello, I have a question. In the infobox it states that his coronation was in 980. However in the article: | |||
----- | |||
"...and capturing Polotsk and Smolensk facilitated the taking of Kiev in 978, where he slew Yaropolk by treachery and was proclaimed knyaz of all Kievan Rus." | |||
http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/saintv09.htm shows that his July 15 feast day is Roman Catholic, not only Eastern orthodox. | |||
----- | |||
This is one of the worst yet. "As a heathen, he had several wives" WTF??? ] | |||
:Read on! As a heathen he put up statues and subdued other peoples. Evidently there's a causal link. ] | |||
This reading implies that he was immediately proclaimed ruler of the kingdom... but actually there is this unexplained 2 year gap? If anyone can shed some light here, thank you. ] (]) 05:45, 26 February 2023 (UTC) | |||
Bad Heathens! Bad, bad heathens! ] | |||

I wonder about the Yaroslav the Wise holding Novgorod 'in fief'. Is that term applicable (other than by analogy) to 10th c. Russia? I fear it's a fragment of Catholic Encyclopedia.] | |||
:Yep, there it was in the Catholic Encyclopedia. I'm going to cut the 'in fief'.] | |||
---- | |||
and did you know that if you google kherson, 2 of the top 10 hits are marriage-agencies? *sigh*. | |||

The tragedy is that I used to use the Catholic Encyclopedia: I've gone off it completely after being treated to HJ's selections. Agree on the "fief" twaddle - I just wasn't cutting enough. Slash and burn! ] | |||
:CE is still ok in parts -- but not as the only source. I have found an excellent online source...will send it to you if I can figure out how! ] | |||
:He became the prince in 978, but the Primary Chronicle mentions 980, probably this is when he consolidated the realm. A monk from the 11th century puts the date at 11 June 978. ] (]) 00:35, 21 July 2023 (UTC) | |||

Another important thing: St. Vladimir was baptised in Chersonesos (in ], now in suburbs of ], founded by greeks in 422-421 BC). Since 16 c. AD that city was usually called Chersonesos of Tavria (Khersones Tavricheskiy, ] Херсонес Таврический ) or Kherson/Korsun'. | |||
The city of ] the article linked to was founded in 1778 AD in memory of Chersonesos.<br> | |||

"Shadowy figure" is what the original editor should have written ; I suspect a translation artifact. His additions at the time are in slightly unidiomatic English, possibly transparent to Ukrainian? (e.g., "he married … ''to'' a granddaughter"). At any rate, "questionable character" is a pejorative term for a person not quite honest; what is meant is "shadowy figure" vel sim., i.e., a person who may not have existed, or about whom very little is known, etc. ] (]) 13:50, 16 March 2023 (UTC) | |||

== Name of Volodymyr == | ||
Why he called in wiki Vladimir??? In old east Slavic he was called: Володимѣръ Свѧтославичь, Volodiměrъ Svętoslavičь | |||
If you dont belive that members of the Ruriks family, pat. Svyatoslav, Volodymer and Yaroslav, had been using "trident"-like symbols as personal crests on coins and seals, you should look through e-net pages (even russian pages http://russianchange.narod.ru/ or http://geraldika.ru/ or http://www.gerb.bel.ru/pages/russia/retro.htm) about the early "heraldry" or Rus. The Rurikids used "trident" not because they were Ukrainian nationalists, but because it was their family symbol. Regards--] 14:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
So we need to rename it into Volodimer, Volodymyr, or something like that. There's no "Vlad" in his real name. ] (]) 15:45, 15 April 2023 (UTC) | |||
:It is amusing to read such things, because it was me who wrote ] in February 2005 and uploaded real (not imaginary) trident-like symbols to this article. On the other hands, your images are factually incorrect, because exact attribution of symbols to one or another of Yaroslav's descendants is purely speculative. Even with seals, which normally bear an image of the ruler's patron saint and his name, attribution frequently presents insurmountable difficulties. What makes these images even less acceptable for an encyclopaedia, is that the symbols are clothed in the Ukranian heraldic colors, which had not been attested before the Galician period of Ukrainian history. In short, unlike the images in the article about Svyatopolk, the modernised interpretations which you uploaded are speculations with a nationalist background.

:Because he's a major figure in Russian history, and old spellings or Ukrainian conventions were, until lately, deemed unimportant? ] (]) 15:54, 18 May 2023 (UTC) | |||
I chose gold and blue colours for the crests of Volodymer not because they are the colours of Ukrainian flag but because these colors where probably used by Kievan princes, on the contrary to other princes and slavic states that used red and white (Polotsk, Poland, Bohemia...). Kings of France used blue and gold and Byzantium empereors used purpule and gold to separate themselves from "reddish" nobility. So, why the Kievan princes couldnt do the same? | |||
::Excuse me,he has nothing to do with Russia.Russia hijacked Ukrainian history once again.The fact that Russians especially Putin with coming to power burned history books and rewrote everything to his liking doesn’t make Volodymyr the Great Russian figure.It’s wrong in every single level. ] (]) 22:11, 28 January 2024 (UTC) | |||
In fact, the colors of the crest are not so significant as the image. Crest, or proper to say emblem, has no colours, just a form. It is not a "coat of arm". If you do not like the combination of gold and blue, thats your right. But I see no need to cut off the image. | |||
:::Nothing? You sure? So ruling a state literally called "Russia" is not enough of a connection? | |||
Nobody, however, knows what were the "national" colours of Rus. If my images are speculation and should be deleted from this article, please delete also other images (statues etc.) because they are "speculative" images of Volodymer. If you want put the trident images from the Svatopolk article to Vladimir which you consider to be real, go on and do it. --] 07:20, 7 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

This being an English-language article, it's completely beside the point what Russians or Ukranians might call him. At the moment, English-speakers use "Vladimir," sorry. One day, we might wake up to Ukranian usage and distinguish Vladimir from Volodymyr, but Misplaced Pages is hardly the place to force the issue.

The sentence "Volodymyr Svyatoslavych the Great, often mistakenly spelled Vladimir" is incorrect as "Volodymyr" being a modern Ukrainian spelling is no more correct than "Vladimir" (modern Russian spelling). The old East Slavic was either "Володимеръ"(according to the Hypatian codex) or "Володимѣръ"(Vasmer). Note the different vowels in the two last syllables.

Hell, some Latin variations even drop the V entirely and turn it into "Lodo" (see Lodomeria). Saying any of these variants is wrong because they weren't used historically is nonsense. As for why the "Vlad" component is chosen out of all historical examples, other users have repeatedly pointed it out: it's the most common name in English sources. Blaming Russia for that is stupid, btw, since it could very well be from Latin.

No gentlemen, Volodymyr is just and simply the Ukrainian spelling of Vladimir. The Old Russian would be Volodimer, not the Ukrainian Volodymyr. But, at the risk of being impolite, the point is that in world history this person is widely known as Vladimir, in spite of preferences of those who want to artificially purify Ukrainain history of anything Russian. Except for the Ukrainian WP article, in all other languages he is traditionally called Vladimir, whether some like this or not. So let's adher to what is already established by tradition, meaning we call this person Vladimir. Changing Vladimir into Volodimer or even Volodymyr looks highly artificial. Misplaced Pages should adher to what is widely accepted in world history. I am not Russian and do not intend to hurt any nationalistic/chauvistic sentiments. ] (]) 15:51, 7 April 2009 (UTC) | |||

Hello, Vasilij, you seem to be making lots of wonderful statements like "just and simply", "widely known", and "accepted in world history". Yes, for a very long time, there were very many concerted efforts - first by the Russian empire, and then by the USSR - to convince the world of lots of things. You seem to have bought into it: for example, what does "artificially purify Ukrainian history of anything Russian" mean? Personally, I think it's the other way around - Russian history needs to get proud of Russian accomplishments, not Ukrainian ones. | |||

:Actually, arguments like "he is known in the west" do not hold any water, and google results are not really reliable at all, as per the WP MoS. Volodymyr is known around the Anglosphere by many names, with modern literature frequenting Volodymyr more. Thanks, ] (]) 20:20, 8 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
::Curious, you say that the "he is known in the West" argument "holds no water" and then use it immediately in support of your own POV. However, the support for "Vladimir" has been definitely demonstrated (a 660 vs 28 relation leaves no ambiguity), thus refuting your own argument you failed to substantiate in any way. I will restore the original form now. Please refrain from further changes to the name until you provide a definite preference for "Volodymir" in the English language literature. --] (]) 21:22, 8 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
:::Hello, it's sad that as soon an an opposing opinion is presented, it is immediately labeled a POV. Illythr, are you actually familliar with the WP rules of transliteration, and if so, why do you rely so much on Google? You should know that google is not in any way reliable when discussing what is common in English. To demonstrate, the first hit on Google which does not include Misplaced Pages claims that "Vladimir the Great ... grand duke of Kieff and Russia". The "source" still spells Kyiv as Kieff, which even Russians stopped doing a long time ago, and uses "Rus" and "Russia" interchangeably, which everybody but Russians stopped doing a long time ago. | |||
:::Now, the first hit on "Volodymyr the Great" in google books brings us to the Encyclopedia of Ukraine, the second to a study on religion, and the third to a book called "The Ukrainians - an unexpected nation". | |||
:::Please feel free to actually look at the results, not just count them, as the Misplaced Pages Manual of Style (that's what MoS means, by the way) suggests. That's why I changed the name, and that's why I will change it back. Please do not revert it. Thanks, ] (]) 08:38, 12 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
::::Well, you failed to present some sort of evidence to the claim that "Volodymyr" is used more widely in Western literature, whereas I demonstrated the evidence to the contrary. Hence, this claim is your opinion only. WP Transliteration rules apply only when an established name does not exist in English, which is clearly not the case here. In this case, the difference is too great anyway. What the Google search definitely shows is the lack of support for the name you portray as "common". a more refined search in Google Books, that addresses the problem you mentioned (post-1991 sources only, no "Kieff"). The difference stays in proportion (432 hits versus 4+12). Note that I do not endorse such Google searches as a universal means to solve naming problems. They are only applicable when they show the preference of one name over others by a margin large enough to leave no reasonable doubt, such as this case. There's no problem in mentioning the modern Ukrainian spelling (already done), but replacing the common name with it is a no go. --] (]) 11:45, 12 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
Vladimir is certainly the main name used in the west, with much wider usage than any Ukrainization. If you want to challenge this, please provide a major English-language textbook of medieval history not primarily devoted to Ukraine that uses Volodymyr or similar ] (]) 09:24, 12 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
:I think such a book can be found. This won't make it any less undue, considering hundreds of books that use "Vladimir", though. --] (]) 11:45, 12 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
::Hello, Illythr, have you actually ever seen any of the "hundreds of books" that use the Russian nationalistic chauvanistic "Vladimir"? Please remember that there is a difference between the internet and reality. Thanks, ] (]) 08:26, 13 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
:::Perhaps you might want to familiarize yourself with what ] actually is, to acquire an understanding about where its books come from. Your characteristic of Vladimir as a "Russian nationalistic chauvanistic" name warrants no further comments. --] (]) 23:14, 13 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
::::Hello,Illythr, please believe me when I say I know what a google search is (by the way, do you know what a google is - without googling it?). | |||
::::Here's the problem: for a long time, there has been a concerted effort to claim that "there has never been a Ukraine, there is no Ukraine, and there never will be a Ukraine". (just google the Emz Ukaz (please note the mistranslation of "Ukrainian" as "little russian")). Unfortunately, the pen is not mightier than the sword, and eventually scholars just say what has been said - and published, and printed, and repeated (another question: who said "a lie told often enough becomes the truth"?). | |||
::::Luckily, truth cannot be defeated, and what is right has come to be. Scholars are re-discovering the truth about history, and many books are being published in which Volodymyr is used. | |||
::::Here's a test for the google books engine: try "Volodymyr the Great", and look at the '''date''' of the first publication. Then, try "Vladimir the Great" and look at the date of the first entry. This is an important lesson in dealing with history (and also Misplaced Pages guidelines, as well) - don't just look at numbers, but look '''into''' the results. This will help you understand what '''is''' used, not what '''was''' used. Thanks, ] (]) 09:30, 26 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
::::: Yes I know what a googol is. I asked if you understand what ''Google Books'' is, however. | |||
::::: The problem goes two ways - for a while, there was no Ukraine, but once it was established, a group of people, in a display of false patriotism, attempted to create its history way back from prehistoric times. While both Russian and Ukrainian nationalists love taking on each others' fairy tales, luckily, here on the English Misplaced Pages, we don't get to decide what is ] and which one of them is Truer than the others. We merely work ]. What this consensus is has been thoroughly demonstrated to you by means of respectable English encyclopaediae and numerous samples of English language books. If your version of "truth" differs from the widely accepted one, please work towards establishing it ''outside'' of Misplaced Pages first. | |||
::::: The method of examining just the first entry of the search results is a very bad one, as we don't know how the sorting mechanism works. A more reliable way to see what's ''is'' used is to simply look for that: limit the search to books printed within the, say, last 3 years (2006-2009). This, too results in a clear preference for Vladimir ( to ) --] (]) 11:30, 26 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
:::::Hello, nice catch on the googol. | |||
:::::You seem to have understood the problem: for a long time, there were many people trying to say that there was no Ukraine. How can that be: There was no Ukraine? Saying that is as absurd as saying that there was no America before 1492. It has always been there - possibly not in the way that it is known today (yes, in Volodymyr's time, Kyiv was the capital to be in continental Europe). That is, however, very different from there being no Ukraine. There has always been Ukraine, and judging by what it has survived to today, there always will be Ukraine. | |||
:::::So, please no more statements like "in a display of false patriotism" or "taking on each other's fairy tales". Because they all started in Kyiv. Build a bridge - get over it. | |||
:::::Now, what exactly does "What this consensus is has been thoroughly demonstrated to you" mean"? You and ] are a consensus? | |||
:::::Please don't misinterpret my suggestion as a "method of examining just the first entry" - what it is is a show to you what used to be, and what is. People used to think that the earth was flat, it was spelled Vladimir, and there was no Ukraine. Now, we know better. | |||
:::::Let's take the next step together: look at the results, don't just count them: the first result for google books, published in English between 2006 and 2009 about Vladimir the great is about VLADIMIR PUTIN. It's called Russia's foreign policy something something. | |||
:::::However, when you search about Volodymyr the Great ( plus same search parameters), you get a history book about ANCIENT UKRAINE, called "Origins of the Slavic Nations". | |||
:::::So now you know, so please stop changing it back, and saying things like: "here on the English Misplaced Pages" because I don't know about any other Wikipedias. Hopefully, that has been enough demonstration for you, thanks, ] (]) 09:33, 27 April 2009 (UTC). | |||
::::::There was no United States of America before July 4, 1776, and certainly not before 1492. There were other "states" on that territory, sure, but any kind of continuity and links to the modern USA begin only with the arrival of European settlers, as any Native American will tell you. | |||
::::::As for consensus - The links to English language books and encyclopedia demonstrating the dominance of "Vladimir" are available on this page. | |||
::::::The search result you falsely present as mine lacks the quotation marks ( as opposed to ) and is therefore misleading and completely useless - the first entry is actually a mention of Peter the Great; it then goes on to list many other notable Vladimirs, including Putin, Nabokov and, yes, Vladimir I of Kiev (second hit, actually). In an amusing bit of irony, your search for ''volodymyr the great'' without the marks suffers from the same problem - there are apparently other notable Volodymyrs (including ) as well as that have the words "Volodymyr" and "great" in them.

Vladimir is wrong
Leaving this discussion open just encourages new IPs to post even though the section was started in 2022 and nothing new has been said since then.--Ermenrich (talk) 15:11, 5 November 2024 (UTC)The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
- Vladimir is WRONG. It is obvious.
- Kyiv is called Kiev "by most historic books in English". But the heading of the article is Kyiv, not Kiev.
- So the heading of the article must be changed to Volodymyr. 92.253.212.115 (talk) 20:00, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- As I understand, Kiev is transliteration of the Russian name, whereas Kyiv is transliteration of the Ukrainian version. The latter has become much more common in some sources in recent times, for obvious political reasons. Moribundum (talk) 05:41, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- You are absolutely right.The fact that Ukraine was colonized by Russia and purposely everything was spelled Russian way as part of mass Russification back then,doesn’t give a right to keep spelling the wrong way.Ukraine is it’s own county with its own language vs Russia back then Moskovia that took roots from Golden Horde and is a hybrid formation that formed its language mostly out of Ukraine and Belorussia has nothing to do with Kyivan Rus and it’s history,absolutely nothing.It’s very upsetting that so many people are not familiar with that part of the world and it’s history but yet have an opinion or wrote misleading articles. Irishka1515 (talk) 22:20, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
- You are absolutely wrong. Ukraine was never colonized by Russia and the spelling was always Russian until 1991 lol.
- Just because Ukraine became independent and decided to falsify the spellings of all original names doesn't give anyone the tight o actually start calling them those new wrong names.
- Ukraine is a nation that was formed based on a culture that formed from Russians living under Polish occupation. Claiming it has nothing to do with Russia is beyond delusional. Ukraine literally has it's same roots in the Golden Horde.
- It is a hybrid of Russian and Polish and has nothing to do with medieval Russia and it's history.
- It’s very upsetting that so many people are not familiar with that part of the world and it’s history but yet have an opinion or wrote misleading articles. 2A02:8108:8A80:753A:6BEE:5DC2:DCD6:F59 (talk) 01:06, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- He is another "Russians = Mongols" Troll. It is actually crazy that your comments get removed for revisionism and not his lol RumyantsevPolkovodets (talk) 11:28, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- Irishka. You know that the Russian Version for Kiev is closer to the original Name Києвъ than what you use for it? Also Nobody colonised the Ukraine. It was reunited by a Prince from Moscow, in an alternative History it could have been reunited by someone from Ryzan, Novgorod, Tver or even Chernigov. But Moscow was the Most succesful of the Rus princes in Real Life. 91.106.124.226 (talk) 08:52, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- WRONG. Kiev is still called Kiev in every serious work of history as it is the original name and not the modern Ukrainian version.
- The Old East Slavic name is Владимиръ (Vladimir). 2A02:8108:8A80:753A:6BEE:5DC2:DCD6:F59 (talk) 01:02, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- Володимѣръ Volodymyr is the name of Volodymyr the Great Володимир Volodymyr is the name of Volodymyr Zelenskyy Владимир Vladimir is the name of Vladimir Putin Thekyrman (talk) 17:18, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- You are trolling, right? This is no place for revisionist history:
- Senderovich, Savely (2007). "К истории восточнославянского имени Владимир" (PDF). Славяноведение. 2: 10.
- The old Slavic spelling is literally "Владимиръ". There are literal coins recovered from his reign spelling it that way.
- Volodymyr is likely the pronounciation of the word in old east Slavic, but definetly not how it was written. RumyantsevPolkovodets (talk) 11:27, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
Unexplained 2 year gap ?
Hello, I have a question. In the infobox it states that his coronation was in 980. However in the article:
"...and capturing Polotsk and Smolensk facilitated the taking of Kiev in 978, where he slew Yaropolk by treachery and was proclaimed knyaz of all Kievan Rus."
This reading implies that he was immediately proclaimed ruler of the kingdom... but actually there is this unexplained 2 year gap? If anyone can shed some light here, thank you. Moribundum (talk) 05:45, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- He became the prince in 978, but the Primary Chronicle mentions 980, probably this is when he consolidated the realm. A monk from the 11th century puts the date at 11 June 978. Mellk (talk) 00:35, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
"Questionable character"
"Shadowy figure" is what the original editor should have written back in September 2008; I suspect a translation artifact. His additions at the time are in slightly unidiomatic English, possibly transparent to Ukrainian? (e.g., "he married … to a granddaughter"). At any rate, "questionable character" is a pejorative term for a person not quite honest; what is meant is "shadowy figure" vel sim., i.e., a person who may not have existed, or about whom very little is known, etc. Bill (talk) 13:50, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
Name of Volodymyr
Why he called in wiki Vladimir??? In old east Slavic he was called: Володимѣръ Свѧтославичь, Volodiměrъ Svętoslavičь So we need to rename it into Volodimer, Volodymyr, or something like that. There's no "Vlad" in his real name. 91.199.245.2 (talk) 15:45, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- Because he's a major figure in Russian history, and old spellings or Ukrainian conventions were, until lately, deemed unimportant? Svartalf (talk) 15:54, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- Excuse me,he has nothing to do with Russia.Russia hijacked Ukrainian history once again.The fact that Russians especially Putin with coming to power burned history books and rewrote everything to his liking doesn’t make Volodymyr the Great Russian figure.It’s wrong in every single level. Irishka1515 (talk) 22:11, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
- Nothing? You sure? So ruling a state literally called "Russia" is not enough of a connection?
- Ukraine once again is hijacking Russian history.
- The fact that Ukraine after it's independence burned history books and and rewrote everything to their liking doesn't make Vladimir the Great a Ukrainian figure. It is wrong on absolutely every single level 2A02:8108:8A80:753A:6BEE:5DC2:DCD6:F59 (talk) 00:56, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

- No, it must be Uladzimir to stop Russian and Ukrainian chauvinism. Mellk (talk) 23:13, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

- You are absolutely right.It seams that Russian wrote the original page and once again trying to hijack the history of Ukraine.He is sure Volodymyr and not Vladimir,it’s even shown the proper in old Slavic language as Volodymyr but yet another Russian is writing Russian way portraying him as Russian when in reality he has nothing to do with Moskovia who took its roots from the Golden Horde.Sad!!!

- Absolutely wrong. It seems a lot of Ukrainians can't accept proper history and are once again hijacking Russian history. He is definetly Vladimir and not Volodymyr. It's even shown in proper East Slavic as Vladimir but yet another Ukrainian is writing the Ukrainian modern way portraying him as Ukrainian when in reality he has nothing to do with Malorussia who took their roots from the Golden Horde.

The Roman Catholic Church does not consider him as a saint.
The Latin rite of the Catholic Church does not consider Vladimir the great as a saint. Only the Eastern Ruthenian Catholic Churches consider him as a saint.

Well,this whole entire post is wrong and looks like it was written by someone with Russian origin as there is a lot of words spelled Russian way instead of Ukrainian,including the correct spelling of Volodymyr not Vladimir as well as spelling Kiev instead of correct way of Kyiv.Let me point it out thaf Kyivan Rus is now Ukraine not Russia,what year was Kyiv founded vs Moskovia.This is very insulting to every Ukrainian that people like you hijack their history.

- Again, the modern Ukrainian spelling is not the correct one. The correct spelling of Vladimir is not Volodymyr as well as incorrect spelling of Kiev as Kyiv.

- "Medieval Latin Vladimirus, name of several saints in the Eastern Orthodox Church, from Old East Slavic Володимѣръ (Volodiměrŭ), Old Church Slavonic Владимѣръ (Vladiměrŭ), from Proto-Slavic *Voldiměrъ (which see for more) Compare Waldemar."
- From the English Wiktionary entry for Vladimir. As you see he was called Vladimir in medieval Latin and Old Church Slavonic with the "Vlad" component. In other languages there is / was a "Vald" component. And in yet more languages there is the "Volod" component. Hell, some Latin variations even drop the V entirely and turn it into "Lodo" (see Lodomeria). Saying any of these variants is wrong because they weren't used historically is nonsense. As for why the "Vlad" component is chosen out of all historical examples, other users have repeatedly pointed it out: it's the most common name in English sources. Blaming Russia for that is stupid, btw, since it could very well be from Latin. Just because it's used in a language you hate doesn't mean it's wrong or bad or that everyone else has to conform to your wishes. 62.12.83.152 (talk) 21:54, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah Waldemar is not Volodymyr.
- The Old East Slavic name was Владимиръ (Vladimir).
- Same in Old Church Slavonic, Proro-Slavic "Vladimer".
