First name spelling

According to the CIA World Factbook, it is 'Dmitriy' not 'Dmitry.'

The CIA are wrong (about a lot of things)— Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.179.149.39 (talk) 08:41, 18 August 2012

His name is spelled in Cyrillic, so fine differences in spelling, when writing it using the Roman alphabet, are irrelevant. Have you seen the many, MANY Roman spellings of Muhammed? Same idea.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.142.70.108 (talk) 18:04, 23 December 2016

Libyan Intervention

"Despite its stated opposition to NATO intervention, Russia abstained from voting on Resolution 1973 instead of exercising its veto power as a permanent member of the Security Council; four other powerful nations also abstained from the vote—India, China, Germany, and Brazil—but of that group only China has the same veto power."

Which President did not use the veto thus acquiescing in the intervention? President Medvedev.

Grammatical correction needed

There's a spelling error on the last paragraph of the "Deputy chairman of the Security Council" section. The city of Odessa is referred here as "Odesa", which is an incorrect spelling. This should be corrected, thanks. 2800:150:14A:5A5:5BA3:B391:AC97:E0CC (talk) 18:49, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Photos

What is up with the absurd blog-eque unencyclopedic pictures in the 2020 to present section? A picture of a mushroom cloud (that actually depicts an American nuclear test) and a flag map of CA? It adds nothing to the article at all. — THORNFIELD HALL^(Talk) 02:07, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Parents

I have noticed that only Medvedev's father has been included in the infobox template as "Parent". I have tried to fix this by adding his mother, but I cannot change "Parent" to "Parents" even though on the infobox editing, it is shown as "parents". How can this anomaly be fixed?
