"Union of Right Forces"

[edit]

The title "Union of Right Forces" is a very bad English calque from the Russian and sounds totally ungrammatical, so I am surprised no one has picked up on this. The more sensible translation of "Союз правых сил" is "Union of Rightist Forces" -- as in "rightist". This is the dominant translation in scholarship, as seen from Google Books: 14,000+ results for "Union of Rightist Forces" ([1]) v. ~ 4,000 for "Union of Right Forces" ([2], first result is from Wikipedia).
