I agree. The subject is described as Ukrainian in 3 of the cited sources (
1,
2,
3) and is described as Russian exactly nowhere that I can find. Per basic policy (
WP:V,
WP:RS) this is not an ambiguous situation. -

Wikipedia reflects what is written in reliable sources. The page subject is identified as Ukrainian in every source that discusses his nationality and he is identified as Russian in no source that I can find. -

I am afraid we do not have any truly RS on the subject. But then we do not need it as the fact that Kiev was then in Russia is universally known. I agree to drop "Russian" in the lede as it is ambiguous when talking of writers as the main point is what language he wrote in, which was Yiddish.

Looks like this was not a consensus at all, but the appearance of one through tendentious sockpuppetry. I'm restoring the page from before this. -

Is this the same person as Meteb Blinkin?
I am working on the writings of Yiddish authors in Wikisource and was wondering if this is the same person as Meteb Blinkin?—
