The part about human rights violations should be taken out. First, in a microstub like this, one shouldn't concentrate on human rights, since there are so many things about Russia that one could say. Second, it's a typical POV.

The whole article is a collection of stereotypes. How would you like an article about England: "Most of the time England is covered with fog. They also occasionally send their troops to other parts of the world to attack other countries like Iraq.":))

Do we include the War Crimes going on in Ukraine?[change source]

Do we include the active War Crimes going in Ukraine? Or, do we leave this for a separate page and conversation?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.186.17.120 (talk • contribs) 19:17, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Map in 'Cities and tows' to be replaced?[change source]

The current map in 'Cities and tows' shows Crimea as being Russian. Last I heard though, it was Ukrainian. Given that Russian and Ukraine are currently part of an armed conflict, it would be wise to replace it with one that doesn't show Crimea being part of Russia. The reality on the ground may be different, but at least the map should be replaced. Eptalon (talk) 19:14, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should at least be shaded as disputed. InfernoGaming46 (IG46) (talk / changes) 19:16, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I took the one from enwp, which doesn't include it at all.That map is too big to introduce shading... Eptalon (talk) 19:23, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I meant shading Crimea as disputed as it is in most maps. Although if enwiki uses that one then it is fine. InfernoGaming46 (IG46) (talk / changes) 19:25, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@InfernoGaming46 What do you think about expansion "Tsardom of Russia" if you know how to expand? Frontfrog (talk) 09:34, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I can expand it later. InfernoGaming46 (IG46) (talk / changes) 14:21, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
