Portal:Russia/Hidden Gems

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Portal:Russia/Hidden Gems subpage is to list recently unearthed articles that cover Russia-related topics which

1. have been neglected for quite some time after insignificant edits of the initial contribution, and
2. require serious intervention of Russian editors.

Such articles may exist e.g., because they were not categorized or not linked to/from anywhere notable.

Please do not list here articles merely because they are in poor shape or under a heavy POV dispute: this page is intended to be a certain extension of the Portal:Russia/New article announcements, according to the Russian proverb: "New" is something forgotten for good.

As a rule of thumb, don't list articles edited by active members of project Russia.
