Topical antiseptic ("zelyonka")[edit]

"Zelyonka" is the oxalate (C₂₉H₃₅N₂O₄, File:Brilliant_green.svg), not sulfate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikhail Ryazanov (talk • contribs) 00:43, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. Russian article on that topic — ru:Бриллиантовый зелёный (Viride nitens) — describes somewhat different substance, citing 47 sources. This article needs rework. Tacit Murky (talk) 01:19, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have at least mentioned it in the article text, for now. —Mykhal (talk) 12:11, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Political use[edit]

The Politics section claims that this antiseptic is being used to splash political opponents "In Eastern European countries, especially in Russia," but all the incidents cited occurred exclusively in Russia. The source cited also fails to mention any countries other than Russia, and as it happens, the incident it cites in detail happened in Barnaul, which is in Western Asia rather than Eastern Europe. Any objections to striking the words "In Eastern European countries, especially"? --Malatinszky (talk) 12:55, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article Zelyonka attack has references that describe its use in Ukraine, so it doesn't seem to be exclusively Russian. I've copied a relevant reference over from there. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:27, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
