Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki-editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:

• Entry layout (EL) is a detailed policy on Wiktionary's page formatting; all entries must conform to it. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing same-language entry, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
• Check out Language considerations to find out more about how to edit for a particular language.
• Our Criteria for Inclusion (CFI) defines exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary; the most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
• If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
• If you have any questions, bring them to Wiktionary:Information desk or ask me on my talk page.
• Whenever commenting on any discussion page, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically produces your username and timestamp.
• You are encouraged to add a BabelBox to your userpage to indicate your self-assessed knowledge of languages.

Personal questions

Hi,

do you mind if I were to ask you a few personal questions? Feel free to not answer them, but I ask them because I wish to know something about 'memory' in Russia or with Russians in general. I ask these questions to several native Russian speakers, so forgive me if you encounter these questions on different talkpages. So here are the questions:

• When were you born?
• Were you 16 or older in the 1980s?
• Were you born in Russia/Soviet Union? Where?
• How do you remember the Soviet-Afghan war/Afghan war?
• How do you remember the Soviet repression, such as the Gulag or the prison camp system?
• How do you remember the public discussion in the 1980s/1990s about the repression and the prison camp system?
• How do you feel about the victims of the Afghan war and the victims of the repression?

Answer in anyway you like (which includes not answering as well of course), thank you very much.

Kind regards,

1. When were you born?

   In 1975.

2. Were you 16 or older in the 1980s?

   I was 5 years old in 1980.

3. Were you born in Russia/Soviet Union? Where?

   Yes, in Leningrad, Saint Petersburg now.

4. How do you remember the Soviet-Afghan war/Afghan war?

   Yes, but i was too young to interesting about it. I have a second cousin, who was be at this war. He was a driver of military car (see w:en:UAZ-469). He returns alive, but i remembers a photo of his UAZ with many bullet holes on it.

5. How do you remember the Soviet repression, such as the Gulag or the prison camp system?

   No. Nobody from my family was repressed. The term "prison camp system" is unknown for me. Its literal meaning hears too offensive, like in a USA-propaganda.

6. How do you remember the public discussion in the 1980s/1990s about the repression and the prison camp system?

   Yes. But this time was too difficult for my family for lack of money. Any way don't want such final of those "discussion". Personally, i prefer to save Soviet Union in some form.

7. How do you feel about the victims of the Afghan war and the victims of the repression?

   In my opinion, the sending our soldiers was a mistake of Soviet authorities. It should be gave help with weapon, intelligence information, but not send our regular military forces. USA authorities maked the resembling mistakes in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Iraq, [Syria], and so forth...
