Russophilia?[edit]

I am having hard time to find any source in this article that directly describe what "Russophilia" or its examples. It Reads as collection of any show of support for Russia and cases of Russian nationalism as oppose to Russian cultural appreciation.--PLNR (talk) 12:50, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Content?[edit]

Too political 213.205.241.21 (talk) 09:35, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Content[edit]

This article sounds more like somebody’s personal opinion. A lot more citations needed at least. 213.205.241.21 (talk) 09:37, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

russophile people and parties[edit]

The list of Russophile people and parties is subjective and not neutral. There are no objective criteria to describe any individual or party as Russophile. Certainly since the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, but also before, the accusation of Russophilia can be a serious one, but for some people and parties there isn't even any source indicated, let alone objective criteria. Therefore, I added an NPOV-tag to the article. --Gerrit ^CUTEDH 10:21, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'd agree. Vacant0 (talk) 11:19, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's ridiculous: I removed the entire list as problematic, not least because of the WP:BLP. Whose creation was this? Drmies (talk) 01:47, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And this list was reinstated again by some IP user. If anyone thinks that it should stay, then comment your reason here. I'll check in again and remove this in about a week if there is still no opposition to this. Vacant0 (talk) 17:26, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the list. If anyone is opposed to removing it, comment here first. Vacant0 (talk) 09:25, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Russophilia in Ukraine[edit]

The section on Russophilia and Ukraine, which exclusively discusses post-Soviet Ukrainian desires for closer ties to Russia, links to the Galician Russophilia article, which focuses exclusively on a more formal turn of the century movement for the same. Some effort should be made to either add a summary of the content of that linked article, or to show that the linked article discusses a different movement. If warranted, perhaps a separate article on post-soviet pro-Russian movements within modern Ukraine should be written? Handpigdad (talk) 15:20, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Scope of this article[edit]

The lead defines our subject as admiration and fondness, while much of the content seems to define it as „political support for the current Russian government and its politics“. In my opinion, such material is off topic and should be deleted, e.g. from the China section. Rsk6400 (talk) 08:37, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
