Rfv-sense What's this word? @Justinrleung: I have defined the source word, if it's correct: крику́н (krikún). --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 05:32, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

@Atitarev: Cihai says it comes from the name of a character in 《前线》 (The Front?) by Korniychuk. It's used figuratively to refer to fabrication and exaggeration in news reports. It can also refer to someone who likes to lie and make up fake but elaborate stories. See Hanyu Da Cidian. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 05:54, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: Thanks, do you mind fixing the English definitions and add labelling? It seems rare.--Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 05:57, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Yes, there is a 1942 play by Алекса́ндр Корнейчу́к (Aleksándr Kornejčúk) (Russian) / Олекса́ндр Корнійчу́к (Oleksándr Kornijčúk) (Ukrainian) called «Фронт» («Front», “The Front (military)”) but I am not familiar with it or its protagonists. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 06:02, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

You can find the Russian script of the play here.  --Lambiam 08:10, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. Russian play scripts for older books are often easily available. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 23:15, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: I've made some improvements but some more may be needed. The term is probably attestable (but it's often used in quotes), I should have used RFT instead. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 06:56, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Thank you very much, closing! --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 23:15, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
