From The Calculus Affair, Borduria seems to be a communist or communist-influenced country. Kurvi-Tsach resembles Josef Stalin. User:Mr Tan 15:05, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)

I'd always thought it was more like a far-right country. "Taschist" is an obvious pun on "

Colonel Sponsz's appearance, in particular, is that of the stereotypical Nazi officer of film, with cropped hair, monocle, cigarette holder, greatcoat and riding crop. 195.137.79.247 19:12, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply

On the other hand the moustache suggest Josef Stalin. But well Hitler had one too, althoutgh smaller. Ericd 19:10, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One thing is funny and ahead of its time the name of the dictator is "Plekszy-Gladz" sounds like "

Plexiglas". Plexiglas, glass, transparency, glasnost... Ericd 19:15, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply

Please confirm. I don't thing there was a lot of large statues of Adolf Hitler while large statues of Josef Stalin were pretty common IMO. Ericd 19:30, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Borduria is suppose to be an Communist Eastern Bloc country, the Soviets had just invaded Hungary in 1956 — when the Calculus Affair was published. It does have elements from Nazi Germany such as the armbands however Nazi comes from National Socialism. Taschist may be refering to Stalinism — Taschist a play of Stalinist, Tasch being similar to the dictators last name Tsach.

I seem to recall that Borduria is also featured in the two-album Moon Journey series, as the bad guys who attempt to spy on the Syldavian lunar mission... --Peter Knutsen 08:13, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What is this talk about Kurvi-Tasch? I have never heard anything about him either on Portuguese or original French editions. Both L'affair Tournesol and Tintin et los Picaros mention the Marshal Plekszy-Gladz as the leader and dictator of Borduria. On the other hand, the dictator mentioned in Le sceptre d'Ottokar is Müsster, an obvious pun on Hitler and Mussolini. --MiguelFC 23:38, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the name change for each language, and this would include the Bordurian dictator's name. 62.160.141.126 13:22, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Both Kurvi-Tasch and Taschism are examples of English translation. 惑乱 分からん 18:21, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

what happen to the symbol next to the flag on the page?

In the initial publication (pre WWII), Bordurian aircraft were not a recognisable type but had "

Where's the alleged Bordurian translation "Perzerlic Da Borduriai" from? Is it found in any books, or is it just fanon? 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 17:46, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I'm referring to the 1947 version of "King Ottokar's Sceptre" , not to the original black and white 1939 edition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.8.98.118 (talk) 11:36, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I answer myself (as usual): there are 2 Bordurian flags (aside from that with the moustache). See "http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/fic_tint.html#bord" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.8.98.118 (talk) 11:24, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
