POS and capitalisation[edit]

@Appolodorus1 It seems to me that the spelling with a capital is more common. For this meaning the part of speech should probably be a noun (though a different sense for the noun radenbond). ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 09:02, 21 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Lingo Bingo Dingo Thanks for your comment! There was a Dutch Catholic organisation apparently that also had 'radenbond' in its name (nothing to do with the Soviet Union of course), maybe that was the capitalization you saw? As far as I can tell radenbond in the sense of 'Soviet Union' was used more as a 'poetic', alternate synonym in the lower case --- maybe there is a proper word for this? :) --Appolodorus1 (talk) 13:58, 22 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
I can find lower-case hits for the meaning "Soviet Union", but I can also find several upper-case ones: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Either way, the POS should probably be proper noun; the Soviet Union was a unique entity, after all. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 17:55, 22 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Great finds, thanks also for the edit.--Appolodorus1 (talk) 14:33, 27 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
