Talk:Mate Zalka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't know whether "Mátészalka" "was later renamed in (Mate Zalka's) honour", but it would be better to mention that he took the penname which later became his official name, after the name of the place where he studied. It isn't mentioned that Zalka took part in the Civil War in Russia, on the side of Bolsheviks. I have never seen any references to Zalka's participation in any war in Turkey, not that he was called by a Hungarian word for "general" there. The name of Zalka's daughter, "Talocska" is for some reason spelled in Hungarian. In English it should be spelled "Talochka", which is diminutive of Russian name Natalia (Наталия). If her death really had anything to do with Chernobyl, the fact should be substantiated somehow. I've removed supposition that Stalin was so much afraid of Zalka's popularity that he organized artillery bombardment of his car by Nationalists as doubtful. Sorry for my English
