Old talk edit

As far as I know, Vladikavkaz does not mean "Queen of the Caucasus" as stated in the Wikipedia article. A far more appropriate translation FROM RUSSIAN would be "Dominate the Caucasus" (vladi Kavkaz; rus. vladet' = to dominate); it is by the way analogous to Vladivostok = "Dominate the East".

The name clearly reflects the function of the town as the hub for Russian conquers in the Northern Caucasus region in 18th and 19th century. Even today North Ossetia (and especially the town of Mozdok in the nothern part of the Republic) serves as the major regional hub for the Russian war in Chechenya.

Vladikavkaz in Ossetian edit

Is it really so that the city is known by its old name in Ossetian (officially)?

-- Jason, 29 July 2005 - 15:22 GMT

Jason, yes it's really. Now official name of the city in Ossetian is "Dzæudjyqæu", and from 1944 to 1954 "Dzæudjyqæu" was official Russian name too.

Height and year of built of Vladikavkaz TV Mast edit

Vladikavkaz TV Mast is of unique design and there are obviously only 12 similiar masts all in Russia and Ukraine ( TV Tower Vinnytsia is the tallest of them). When was it built and how tall is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hermes3456 (talkcontribs) 17:45, 14 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Dzæudjyqæu edit

Why "Dzæudjyqæu"??? if the right form in Ossetian was Dzæudžyqæu??? --Пъела (talk) 19:21, 24 October 2009 (UTC)Reply


Nice mosque edit

It looks a Byzantine-style mosque, more proper for Russia than other Arabian-like mosques recently built in Kazan or Grozny.--83.57.48.93 (talk) 23:57, 19 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

prospekt mira edit

prospekt mira does not translate to mira avenue. it is: avenue of peace. someone please fix that.

Proper names are not translated, they are transliterated. "Мира" is the proper name ("peace" in genitive); "проспект" is the entity type (not a part of the proper name), so it is translated (avenue). Everything is the way it should be, with nothing to fix.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); January 4, 2017; 21:05 (UTC)
