TacHel Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I just came across the following today...are 'motherland' and 'fatherland' interchangeable?Every single Russian Federation presidential or ministerial decree I've read, and I'm talking about well over 300 here, mention "Fatherland".I double and triple checked myself at first, me being so used to the term "Mother Russian".

Gaffken Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I'm not sure if this is totally correct, but I think the guy above (with the 1st class order) might be Viktor Chrenomyrdin, ambassador to Ukraine, though I've never seen a photo of him before. (I hear he received this award in May...) Gaffken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 You're right Gaffken. He is Viktor Chrenomyrdin. Cheers. Ch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
