It is interesting to note....

In a previous version of this wikipedia article it contained the phrase: It is interesting to note that as a Ukrainian writing in Russian, Kurkov has come under criticism from some of his contemporaries for not supporting the blossoming Ukrainian literary movement. This analysis of current Ukrainian politics by him makes it clear he is not a Russian nationalist. — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 19:03, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Publication dates in bibliography

Shouldn't these refer to the original publication dates in russian (not the case now), and not dates for the publication of translations? This list gives the apperance that he has only been active the last 4 years. Fileunderwater (talk) 00:00, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
