Talk:Politics of Russia

message: I think this article is waaaay toooo looong. Most, if not all, of the historical information that is endlessly repeated here is already available at the appropriate places, namely articles on modern Russian history. 
On the other hand, the current political system in Russia is not sufficiently well described - most input on that dates from the Yeltsin era. 
This article should be rewritten to concentrate on today's politics rather that history of the last century. Sredni vashtar 19:50, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If you feel capable to split the article in two (one about history, one about current state of affairs), can add more recent materials, and cross-reference the resulting two articles, just be bold and do it.  The article is indeed way too long, and the way you propose to split it sounds very logical.  Go for it!  If anything goes wrong, it can always be fixed or reverted to existing version.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 20:23, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

message: "Since gaining its independence with the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991, Russia (formally, the Russian Federation) has faced serious challenges in its efforts to forge a political system to follow nearly seventy-five years of Soviet rule" 
The above is taken from the second paragraph - i'm just querying - maybe this is a bit pedantic but i can imagine it causing some confusion for some people maybe - but anyway - Did Russia 'gain independence' from the USSR or was it rather, the successor state to the USSR ie. loads of other states gained thier independence leaving Russia as the USSR's successor state?
clarifications would be appreciated Gazzelle 15:14, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
