Does anyone know how it happened? Ostap 01:55, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
DYK suggestion edit
- ...that in 1956 the Pidhirtsi Castle in Lviv Oblast, Ukraine burned for three weeks and costing $12 million in damages?--Riurik(discuss) 05:37, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- Suggested here. Feel free to change.--Riurik(discuss) 05:41, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
"eastern borderlands of the former Commonwealth" edit
one minor peeve: despite of what the linked article says Pidhirtsi wasn't in the borderlands of the Commonwealth (Image:Podział administracyjny I RP.png). It only became known as "the borderlands" (kresy) during the times of the Second Republic, but in the 17th century the borders encompassed large territories known today as Greater Ukraine spaning much further to the east. --212.76.33.80 (talk) 09:00, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
