Mistake[edit]

Cherven towns and Red Ruthenia - two diffrent places nad another timeline - look: pl:Grody Czerwieńskie, pl:Ruś Czerwona. Cherven towns exited ealier and was capured by Wolomir I. Later as part of Halych-Volhynia was called by Poles as Red Ruthenia (pl: Ruś Czerwona). Red means czerwony in Polish. Cherven towns - Red towns. --Paweł5586 (talk) 10:36, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Colors as direction indicators[edit]

What is the source for claiming that white meant north, red meant west and black was south, at the very beginning of the article? Actually, some authors interpret the names as white means west, red means south, black means north. so totally different from the sourceless description in the article.

Not to mention that there is nothing about the colours of faces in the Svetovid article at all.Merewyn (talk) 16:31, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
