No mention of Syria in modern Russian imperialism?

[edit]

Russian intervention to prop up Bashar Al Assad should be mentioned Monochromemelo1 (talk) 16:43, 10 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

One would need some sources. I did not see anything beyond personal comments, such as . My very best wishes (talk) 20:37, 7 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Original research and fringe

[edit]

This edit is problematic on so many levels. I will give a few examples:

  • This is cited as a source to support the claim that Russian imperialism includes the imperialism of Muscovy, except the source does not say anything about imperialism (it refers to the Muscovite annexation of Novgorod, another Russian city).
  • Unsourced additions, including: Such Russian colonizing military presence is also observed in today's Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and until early 2025 in Syria.
  • A section on "Foundational documents and statements of Russian imperialism", which cites primary sources including the writings of Philotheus of Pskov, the proclamation of the Russian Empire by Peter the Great, exporting the revolution by Vladimir Lenin, and so on.
  • Unsourced sections about "Russian colonial metropole" and "Russian colonies"
  • A list of genocide and massacres, including WP:FRINGE and unsourced additions like "Genocide of the Tatars" (referring to the siege of Kazan in 1552), "Genocide of the Novgorodians" (referring to the massacre of Novgorod in 1570), "Genocide of the inhabitants of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Poland-Lithuania" (with The Unknown War (book) linked), and so on.

Merge from "Russian irredentism"

[edit]
As of note, we have entire Category:Irredentism by country. So, it appears it exists in all countries, except only Russia. This is nonsense. My very best wishes (talk) 22:01, 27 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
And we also have a lot of pages in Category:Russian irredentism. The discussion on the AFD was very far from consensus. My very best wishes (talk) 22:06, 27 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
I think this should go to WP:DRV, but do not have time right now. My very best wishes (talk) 02:07, 29 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
