In reply to your message I in no way question the use of the ENGLISH term Russian Far East Rather I am saying that correct RUSSIAN translation for it is I am not sure how familiar to anglophones criteria can be used here since presumably anglophones are not going to be familiar with either of the Russian terms It is my understanding incorrect that the purpose of providing the Russian term is to inform the reader how the entity is actually called in Russian not to translate back the English term Note that the Russian name for Joseph Stalin is given in WP as not as even though the latter version would be more familiar to the anglophones
