Talk:Vasili Sevchenko

Sevchenko's nationality
The article states his nationalty to be Ukrainian, but there is e-mail correspondence with Jaron Namir that is found in one of computers in the Singapore facility, where the Tyrant is warned about Sevchenko's non-compliance, hacking and attempts to contact his colleagues (for which the scientist was executed). Sevchenko is mentioned as "the Russian".
 * A good question to ask is "where does this Ukrainian nationality even come from?" This wiki desperately needs sources for its statements.


 * My uninformed guess is that the editors connected it with Ukrainian name Shevchenko (Шевченко) (vide national poet of Ukraine Taras Shevchenko), but there has been famous Russians with that name as well. The name Sevchenko (Севченко) on the other hand appears to be very rare, but is not limited to one state (Russian weightlifter, Belarusian physicist etc.)


 * If there is a conflict of sources, Namir's remark could be attributed to cultural ignorance, but first we'd need a second source to conflict with. I'm for changing his nationality to Russian and explaining where it came from.--Nathan2000 (talk) 22:11, October 25, 2014 (UTC)
