• 172 20:00, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC) I'm U.S. born, U.S.-located, specialized in the U.S. as a historian, etc. but one of my long-running concerns on Wiki is generating interest in the articles on recent Russian history and politics, which remain very underdeveloped. I'm the main author, e.g., of History of Russia, History of post-Soviet Russia, Russian constitutional crisis of 1993, and First Chechen War... The next Russia-related project I want to accomplish is rewriting the Yeltsin and Putin articles.
