Under Alexei Navalny's "Political positions" under "Ukraine", the statement about his view on the East Slavic States should be re-added either directly or rephrased to convey the same message that he may sometimes support Ukraine and sometimes show extreme nationalist sentiments:

"In early 2012, Navalny stated on Ukrainian TV, "Russian foreign policy should be maximally directed at integration with Ukraine and Belarus… In fact, we are one nation. We should enhance integration". During the same broadcast Navalny said "No one wants to make an attempt to limit Ukraine's sovereignty"

Here are the sources that were listed previously:

Krzysztof Nieczypor (25 February 2012). "Ukraine in "Big-Time Politics" of Alexey Navalny". Eastbook.eu. Archived from the original on 15 March 2014.
"Navalny: Integration with Belarus – Main Task for Russia". Telegraf.by. 13 February 2012. Archived from the original on 28 September 2013.

For the links, just go to the previous versions from this winter or maybe even spring. Overall, it seems quite dishonest to omit these previously stated quotes from Wikipedia to paint Navalny as anything other than quite ultranationalistic. MaximillionMax (talk) 20:49, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Early life

I'm not sure that this belongs to the Early Life section, or anywhere else in the article. It's well known that Navalny's father is an ethnic Ukrainian, so Navalny couldn't have possibly used the word Banderites referring to all Ukrainians as a slur (which would imply that there were no Ukrainians in his family). He's using it in the regular sense "my family is from Ukraine but they weren't supporters of OUN/Bandera". Alaexis_¿question? 23:15, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, this is not notable. Also a primary source. Mellk (talk) 17:36, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Subordinate countries in infoboxes

Since I recently discussed about subordinate countries in infoboxes, because Russian SFSR does not belong here per Template:Infobox person/doc. But we do have MOS:NOFORCELINK, and RSFSR is just too broad, it says almost nothing about the location. Absolutiva (talk) 22:00, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see any policy which prohibits mentioning RSFSR. The postal address would contain district, oblast, republic, and the country. Ymblanter (talk) 20:49, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is unnecessary to display Russian SFSR, Soviet Union. For example, it is not necessary to state: New York City, New York, United States when New York City, U.S. conveys essentially the same information more concisely. On the other hand, specifying a small town such as Butyn and omitting Moscow Oblast is wrong, because it forces the reader to follow the link for the town that they might not know. Absolutiva (talk) 03:16, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You opened yourself a general discussion, let us wait until it concludes. Ymblanter (talk) 20:50, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think it makes sense to include the second-level subdivision but not the first-level one. This might imply that Moscow Oblast is the first-level subdivision. I am also not sure how Russian SFSR (or any other republic) would be unnecessary, it is not like this is redundant. A case where it could be argued that it is redundant is if we mentioned the administrative center e.g. "Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk Oblast" or "Krasnoyarsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai". Mellk (talk) 21:49, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest Butyn, Moscow Oblast, Soviet Union is more relevant and comprehensible, see subdivisions of the Soviet Union. Absolutiva (talk) 15:48, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you would keep edit-warring while not even getting consensus for your position, I will take you to ANI. Ymblanter (talk) 19:58, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
