[edit] nationality

Dear friends, R. Malinovsky nationality was not ukrainian, he was crimean caraite (крымский караим).

Wikipedia is not a tribute website. This article is getting very wordy and is far too full of rhetoric and praise for its subject. I will give it a trim when I get time. Adam 12:26, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] critical article

Is this really a critical article? It sounds more like a white washing PR piece to me (not a single critical word?). At least the parts about him opposing the Cuban missile move doesn't agree with what I just read in a book about the Cuba crisis. -AK

WP: Be Bold

If I had a nickel for everytime a wikipedian asked someone else to add information to a wikipage, I would be rich.

then instead of criticizing the article on the talk page, why not take the time and add that information you read to the article itself? Travb (talk) 14:45, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] =

I do not try to embellish Malinoivsky but I suggest that the following belongs to the article about Wallenberg, not about Malinovsky. It shall be mentioned briefly in the article about Malinovsky. I removed from the article: "Wallenberg was working to save the remaining Hungarian Jews from being sent to the Nazi death camps and is credited with preventing thousands of deaths by handing out false Swedish passports and documents and housing Jews under Swedish protection until they could be transported out of the country to safety. On January 13, 1945, Wallenberg contacted the Russians to secure food and supplies for the people under his protection. He and his driver, Vilmos Langfelder (c1910-1947), were detained by the Soviet Red Army on January 17, 1945 when they captured Budapest, on suspicion of being a spy for the United States, since the War Refugee Board was actually engaged in espionage. The Soviets may have moved him to Moscow, hoping to exchange him for defectors in Sweden. He was driven to the headquarters of Rodion Malinovsky in Debrecen by the NKVD. Wallenberg's last recorded words were: "I'm going to Malinovsky's ... whether as a guest or prisoner I do not know yet." In 2003, a review of wartime Soviet correspondences, indicated Vilmos Böhm may have provided Wallenberg's name to Stalin as a person to detain." (talk)
