If i read the intructions correct, you can vote mulitple time, for multiple persons, and/or the same person.

Now thats a qualifying poll. :damn:

EDIT: As far as the question for history goes, either wing it, or babelfish it. =)

Are you sure your vote was accepted?
What was the answer on the baloon when you clicked?

There are two possible answers IN RUSSIAN
1. Your vote is accepted - if you correctly answered multiple-choce.
2. Your vote is not accepted - if you failed to provide a correct answer on multiple-choice.

Yep it did count.

EDIT:
You do NOT need to speak Russian to take that poll.. I certainly do not speak nor understand Russian.
This http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ negates the need for it.

Cool, you're right.
He was the founder of dynasty which ruled Russia up until 17th century.
The last guy from the dynasty was Ivan Vasilievich IV.
They were called Rjurikovichy.

I've heard that in some circles in Russia there is still a respect of the Vikings who came there. There are even folks building viking ships and sailing on the Volga or some other river etc.

Yep it did count.
Of cause, it's not fool-proof, and of cause you might guess a correct multiple-choice
BY CHANCE if you ether don't know language or nation's history.

Yet it shows the tendency in people preferences in terms of their leaders.

The Russians are descended from a Viking tribe as far as I remember. The Rus Vikings had settlements there, hence the name, Russia.

It shows the tendencies of the people who have computers, take the time to vote and those who vote the most. The way it is set up, it has no statistical meaning.

I had a question about Dostoyevsky, and although I didn't quite understand the question I noticed that one of the answers was "Roulette" and I remembered that that was Dostoyevskys favourite game so I guessed it. I think it was the correct answer.

So my vote counted. I've done my part! :D

Northern Russians are a mixture of slavic, finn, and germanic people (vikings - they are called varjags there).
Varjags (vikings) were military nobility of the area - warriors, traiders, sailors.
Now Russians would reenact it as a touch to their own acient history.

While I do not really disagree with you, I do not think that this poll is about leaders, rather than the most revered or favored/famous persons in Russian history. Otherwise there wouldn't be Soccer stars, Cosmonauts, Scientists and Artists in the list. If it is about leaders the list misses some names.

Or a samold, samold.

And still as you see, the people have enough brains not to put
on top or somewhere close to top some kinky stripper or a rock-star.

It's really Name of Russia.
Which person would associate with importance and glory of that nation. Something like that. At least it's my reading.
Yep, revered and favoured people in their 1000 year long history.

Yes, we had a similar thing here called the Greates Finn. Although that was a telephone voting - thing and not through the Internet like this one. Also in Great Britain there was a Greatest Briton or something similar. I thought this might be that type of contest.

The Finnish contest was won by our Marshall Mannerheim, a WW 2 figurehead.

You know that when Marshall Mannerheim died
the Soviets declared 3 day national mourning.
So much he was regarded there.
