Sergey Winogradsky is a Russian or ukrainian scientist.

Are there any non–ukrainian articles (which are frankly biased) indicating that Vinogradsky is a ukrainian scientist? He was born in the Russian Empire, and not in ukraine, in a city in which in the pre-revolutionary years, according to population censuses, the Russian population was 54.2%, and all his scientific works are written in Russian. On what basis is he listed in this article as a "ukrainian"? 188.113.129.119 (talk) 02:43, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"...written in Russian" is the opposite of persuasive given the circumstances.In 1876 Winogradsky was 20 years old. That year tsar Alexander II of Russia issued the Ems Ukaz, banning the use of the Ukrainian language in print. It forbade the import of Ukrainian publications. The ukaz also forbade the staging of plays or lectures in Ukrainian. Winogradsky did not have the choice of language implied, he was forbidden from using Ukrainian when formally presenting or publishing his scientific works. Bias is a concern that cuts both ways. If the 300 years of the attempted russification of Ukraine had been successful, I would not be able to say this, but, Winogradsky's Ukranian identity, tied to his family's language, culture, and his ties to Ukraine in terms of place, is real. The fact of his Ukrainian identity is important to the article. -- Paleorthid (talk) 23:08, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
