Talk:Kursk

2006 messages

The page seem to contain almost no information about modern life of Kursk and even have no links to administrations' websites. My attempt to add a photograph of modern Kursk was reverted with the image being described as 'hardly informative rural creek' (in fact this is an area in the very centre of Kursk ( - place of shooting, camera looking southwestbound) with 'private sector' houses in the foreground and a number of multi-storey urban blocks in the background). Is it a policy - to describe a large central-Russian regional center trough two aged b/w photos of cathedrals and accepting no actual additions? Ss r 09:15, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

The revert also seem to return the wrong statement that Battle of Kursk was "major turning point of the war" (in fact Battle of Stalingrad was) and the doubtful sentence "after which time Germany's fortunes began to decline" was returned instead of more correct "the last major German offensive mounted against USSR". Could you please clarify your policies? Your revert doesn't seem to be logical. Ss r 10:03, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

battle of kursk

battle of kursk is not really a turning point, stalingrad was because that was the first major german defeat of the whole war, battle of moscow was because thats when the germans' advance was haulted for the first time. i changed the article to reflect this.

It's also not the largest tank battle in history any more. More tanks engaged in combat in the Golan heights in 1973 than fought at Kursk. Likewise, more tanks fought in the Sinai during the same war, though they arguably fought over a large enough area that they may not be considered a single battle. I am unable to edit the section of the article that continues to claim it was the largest tank battle in history (as it was, up until October of 1973) since there is no "edit button" for that section

I'm glad you can't change that, then, because you'd be wrong and there'd be absolutely no citation for that. The whole 1973 Arab-Israeli War didn't have as many tanks as the Battle of Kursk. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 19:12, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

ROSI/Kursk Chamber Orchestra

Difficult to find references for things, as I only speak a few words of Russian.

Regarding ROSI and KCO, the best I can offer is that I was just there.

Architecture

Not sure about this but is the architecture in the photo actually Stalinist, or just plain neoclassical? HowardSelsam 08:49, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Source Under Attractions Section

The first footnote source does not seem to have anything to do with this particular section of the article, as it directs to an arguably irrelevant website. XRedcomet (talk) 10:33, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

German occupation

I don't have an exact date, but wasn't the German occupation ending during Operation Star? The current article text seems inconsistent with both that are the following sentence about the Battle of Kursk. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 19:48, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Resolved now. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 00:06, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

2024 Incursion

Saw it recently edited in, it's happening 100KM away from the actual city, it's not really relevant to the article about the city itself, but should be in here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kursk_Oblast which it has already been added. 155.4.128.201 (talk) 16:14, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, this article is about the city, not the region. I have removed it. Mellk (talk) 16:30, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Culture and sports

The wiki states "In 2016, the Russian Women's Hockey League expanded to Kursk, with new club Dynamo Kursk."

Dynamo Kursk appears to be a women's basketball team that's part of the Russian Premier League, not the Women's Hockey League.

Source: the pictures of basketball players in the Kursk wiki, and the wiki for Dynamo Kursk. Bourbonix (talk) 15:50, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Kursk is now Ukraine

please discuss 😉 85.76.68.111 (talk) 19:12, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

The incursion of Ukrainian forces should definitely be included in the Recent History section. ItsRainingCatsAndDogsAndMen (talk) 01:57, 10 July 2025 (UTC)

Sitoproboynye

What (tf) is a "sitoproboynye shop", and what was "the Tikhonov works" ?

I suppose it to be some sort of flammable gas, but really don't know. The first paragraph of "29th century" lacks any citations. 114.73.183.216 (talk) 03:49, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
