If this is for the Soviet icebreaker Moskva, then why does the Operation Beluga text refer to the Russian icebreaker? Should it not read 'Soviet'? Luxdsg (talk) 23:51, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you are referring to the caption "Russian icebreakers Admiral Makarov (left) and Moskva in 1992...", the photograph was taken shortly after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. However, I've rewritten it to better emphasize the fact that both ships were involved in separate whale rescue operations. Tupsumato (talk) 11:08, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
