Lipovans

There is nothing about Old-Russian settlement in Bukovina. Could somebody write more about that? Luka Jačov 11:37, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

The flag is wrong

The flag is all wrong: first of all, the blue-red colours were disposed vertically! You'll have to rotate the picture to the right, I guess. And the flag also had the coat of arms af Bukovina disposed in the center (see it here: http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagine:Bukovina_1910_%28Wappen%29.jpg.). At least the colours must be fixed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.107.121.199 (talk) 12:52, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Bukovina Germans' role; Roman Dacia

I read the mindless drivel and stupid nationalist arguing on the other talk page. You guys are all nuts. It was the Bukovina Germans who civilized all you lot, gave you the first decent government you had (Maria Theresa and Joseph, 1775-1790) and freed you from the Ottoman yoke. Fortunately, most of them were intelligent enough to get out of there and come to decent countries like the US and Canada. I note that in the current article there is only one sentence dedicated to them, though they built everything that is still standing from the 1775-1918 period, and they made up some 25% of the population for a century and a half.

And if we want to argue about who treated the Jews worse, the Romanians and Ukrainians are right up there with the Germans in the great historical guilt sweepstakes. So get over all these ancient grudges and behave like adults.

Oh, by the way, no Romans ever came anywhere near Bukovina. Roman Dacia was an obscure minor province, barely settled, basically a military buffer zone, and its boundaries stopped a couple of hundred kilometres south of Bukovina. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.156.1.119 (talk) 17:56, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I find this last part to be quite bizarre. To say that Roman Dacia was "obscure", "minor", "barely settled" is unrealistic. Roman documents and archaeological fids show the extensive Roman settlement in Dacia, the establishment of Roman cities, the thriving economic life, reason for which it became known as "Dacia Felix", therefore not a just a "military buffer zone". It is known that what was designed in 1775 to be "Bukowina" was not part of Roman Dacia. And, yes there should be more in the article regarding the German contribution to Bukovina`s cultural and economic life, but I reject altogheter this kind of atitude: "the Bukovina Germans who civilized all you lot", which is simply insulting to everything there was before 1775, and to the other ethnic groups in Bukovina.(Daniel1918 (talk) 12:53, 6 September 2008 (UTC))

Romanians have built over there (before the arrival of the "civilized" germans) some things which are nowadays part of the UNESCO patrimony. On the contrary there are not a single one built by the the germans. Also.. keep your ignorance for yourself (your boorishness is only your problem) even you've been trying to spread it around with some political correctness false spices. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FabricioRB (talk • contribs) 06:31, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Massacre of Fantana Alba

I noted with surprise that the Fântâna Albă massacre in Bucovina (see wikipedia English and Romanian) has not been mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arnaldo Mauri (talk • contribs) 22:22, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Expulsions

After the war the Soviet government deported or killed about 41,000 Romanians.

Presumably, the Soviets also expelled or killed the ethnic German residents, as they did elsewhere in Eastern Europe. Sca (talk) 15:33, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
