[edit] Supreme Soviet.

The Supreme Soviet article says it was disolved in 1991. How then could Yeltsin do it again in 1993? Please address. --Damifb 13:15, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

It was Supreme Soviet of the USSR. The Supreme Soviet mentioned in this article is the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR.--Dojarca 12:27, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vice President of Russia

Seeing as Rutskoy has been the only VP of the Russian Federation, is there any 'source' about the dissolution of the Russian Vice Presidency? GoodDay 21:43, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Never mind, the adoption of the new Russian Constitution in 1993 (following the coup attempt), dropped the Vice Presidency, leaving the prime-minister as 'temporary successor'. GoodDay 21:49, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Russian constitutional crisis of 1993

I replaced Supreme Court with [[Supreme_court#Russia|Russian Supreme Court]]. It should probably be replaced with Supreme_Court_of_the_Russian_Federation, Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, or whatever the 1993 equivalent was. This also needs a citation. My edit is just a quick-edit to point people in the right direction. 76.186.89.202 21:44, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Xenophobic comments

Didn't he say that Romanians are "Italian Gypsies" or something like that at some point in the early '90s?

[edit] What?

Did Mr. Rutskoy really die?

Can anyone find some sources please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.210.9.36 (talk) 20:53, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Russian Presidents" tag

It's been removed three times [1] [2] [3] without any explanation, reasoning or useful information in the edit summary, even after I added two references that verify he was acting president [4]. I've invited the editor that removed it to this talk page to contribute his thoughts on why it should be removed. Ha! (talk) 00:04, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
