Hello. The paragraph The republic successfully stopped the advancing Romanian Armed Forces at Dniester, managing to conduct series of counter-attacks across the river against the new Republic of Moldova contradicts the Hungarian–Romanian_War_of_1919#Involvement_of_Bolshevik_Russia sub-chapter. 79.112.18.65 (talk) 18:14, 5 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

The article does not contradict anything as it only mentions military situation of early 1918, not 1919. By that time the whole situation in the region changed substantially. The Russian forces apparently tried to stop the Moldavian movement for independence, but were withdrawn beyond the Dniester river with the advancing Romanian troops.

This was moved by User:Mzajac without discussion. I do not see "Odesa Soviet Republic" as being the common name and the consistency argument used in the summary is weak. There is no good reason to replace every instance of "Odessa" with "Odesa" just because the city now is often called Odesa rather than Odessa. This article is about a polity from 100 years ago, a Bolshevik state mind you, not a state created by Ukrainian nationalists. Mellk (talk) 17:12, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
