Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of authoritarian regimes supported by the Soviet Union or Russia
I'm going to make the same point that I made for the US article: the concept of these countries supporting particular authoritarian regimes is clearly notable. It comes up in the news on more occasions than I care to count. That being said, the list is in definite need of  pruning. Each entry should have at least one source that within itself says both that the regime is/was authoritarian, ''and'' it is/was supported by the Russian Federation/Soviet Union. Sources sympathetic to either the regime or Russia/CCCP are not likely to suffice for this purpose. And all |citations consisting of links to other articles should be replaced with references to the actual citations supporting the claim, if they exist
— NONE, NONE
