message: Does anybody know what this sentence from the fourth paragraph mean?
*New neighbors are eight countries of the near abroad—Kazakhstan in Asia, and, in Europe, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.
I'd like to fix it, but I'm not sure what it's trying to say. Unschool 21:29, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The meaning of this is that while these countries used to be parts of the Soviet Union, they are now considered foreign countries bordering Russia.  Not the best way to say it, for sure, but definitely not a non sequitur :)  "Near abroad" is a calque from Russian "", and I think that's an acceptable term in English (I don't know any other one to describe the same concept).—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 22:02, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on Geography of Russia. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
*Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20080222011712/http://www.unesco.org:80/mab/BRs/EurBRlist.shtml to http://www.unesco.org/mab/BRs/EurBRlist.shtml
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ).

message: The numbers in the length of Russia's borders with its neighbors are almost all contradicted by the length given in the country specific articles.
The length of the border given in this article comes first, followed by the length of the border given in the country listed:
* Norway: 165km vs. 196km
* Finland: 1,313km vs. 1,309km
* Estonia: 294km vs. 324km
* Latvia: 217km vs. 217km
* Lithuania: 227km vs. 227km
* Poland: 206km vs. 210km
* Belarus: 959km vs. 1,312km
* Ukraine: 1,576km vs. 1,974km
* Georgia: 723km vs. 894km
* Azerbaijan: 284km vs. 338km
* Kazakhstan: 6,846km vs. 7,644km
* China: 3,645km vs. 4,300km
* Mongolia: 3,441km vs. 3,543km
* North Korea: 19km	 vs. 17.5km
Such massive discrepancies (i.e. Belarus, Kazakhstan) point to the data in this article to be flawed. Does anyone have a proper source? to either fix the article here or the other articles. Thanks, noclador (talk) 09:21, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

message: The article mentions population in terms of where people live in the region. However, there is a lack of the characteristics of the Geography of Russia's population: birth rate, mortality, fertility and life expectancy. I will prove this by providing population pyramids that will show Russia's population more in depth. I also will include more visual representations of these trends by inserting maps within the article to show patterns from past, present and future predictions. I will also include migration patterns and where population is centered in term of urban, rual or suburb areas. 
Here are a couple of links I plan on including:
https://www.populationpyramid.net/russian-federation/2017/ this is a link that has information about Russia's population pyramid trends past and present.
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/rs.html this source has more information regarding pipulation pyramids as well as population, language growth rate, death rate, migration and more
http://data.un.org/Data.aspx?q=Russian+Federation&d=PopDiv&f=variableID%3a68%3bcrID%3a643 this link shows life expectancy data for Russia and future predictions
http://data.un.org/Data.aspx?q=Russian+Federation&d=PopDiv&f=variableID%3a54%3bcrID%3a643 this is a link of fertility rate trends in Russia 
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/rs.html this is a link that shows mortality rates in Russia
