Talk:Russia

From Conservapedia

I don't think Russian Federation belongs in the Cat:Former countries; it is the offical name of the Russia today. RobS 23:34, 9 May 2007 (EDT)

Do you mean to say Russia was not a constituent of the USSR? Or that the Russian Federation as constituted in 1993 (IIRC) is not the successor to the Russian Soviet Federated Social Republic?--All Fish Welcome 00:23, 10 May 2007 (EDT)

Russian Federation is its name today (unless the Vladimar Putin, as the article says, heads a defunct state). It was alwasy refered to as the Russian Federation even in Soviet times, although its formal name was Russian Soviet Federated Social Republic (or something like that). RobS 00:31, 10 May 2007 (EDT)
