[edit] Some Gaps
This article could especially use more detail concerning Russia's relations with countries on its borders, including both the "near abroad" and other countries. I'm not well-versed enough to take this on, but offer just a couple of suggestions here. (1) Russia's activities and interests Transcaucasia have always been complicated, in part by playing off the interests and fears of one group against others (e.g., Armenia vs. Azerbaijan re Karabagh, minorities in Georgia (Ossetians, Abkhazi) against the Georgian government). This goes back 100 years, but continues to this day. It plays out also in oil politics, pipelines from Azerbaijan bypassing Russia, etc. (2) Russia's activities and interests in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, and (3) Belarus-Russia federation; (4) more thoroughgoing review of relations with Ukraine.
Beyond the near abroad, and into the "far abroad," especially Russia's relations (other than border disputes) with important neighbors: the Koreas, Japan, China, Iran, Turkey, and the countries of E-C Europe.--Mack2 14:21, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bias
Sorry, I don't know proper rules of editing articles here, but doesn't anyone else notice how biased towards Russia the article is? That is, the conflicts with Latvia/Lithuania/etc. are not explored, the human rights problems are only presented as "allegations", and the oil and gas economic pressure on other countries is left out... --Anna (anna.uwc(at)gmail.com) 17 February 2007 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.111.220.6 (talk) 11:18, 17 February 2007 (UTC).
No it's not biased, and human rights violations ARE only alleghations. QZX
- Of course the articles will always be biased. But who will set them right?

[edit] Territorial evolution of Russia
Some text was removed from this page and placed (haphazardly) in a new article, Territorial evolution of Russia. Was there a reason for this? Should the be merged back together? -Harmil 20:22, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
