He was Ukrainian too edit

Please do not delete relevant information. Wikipedia articles should be complete and neutral. George Lukomski was born into an impoverished old Ukrainian noble family and considered himself an ethnic Ukrainian. On top of it he wrote books about Ukrainian art and architecture, founded the Kiev Museum of Western and Eastern Art, and most of his works are stored in museums of Ukraine today. To deny that he is not just a Russian art historian and art critic, but also Ukrainian, is ludicrous. --Sanya3 (talk) 20:39, 2 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

He was born in Kaluga. He never wrote in Ukrainian language, all his published works are in Russian, French or English.
Title of his book "Kiev, Ville Sainte de Russie" shows clearly that he considered Kiev Russian city, not Ukrainian. --DonaldDuck (talk) 09:42, 4 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
To classify someone as "Ukrainian journalist" or "Ukrainian art historian" we need at least 1-2 articles written in Ukrainian language by this person. --DonaldDuck (talk) 10:08, 4 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
