We should use wording that describes someone accurate. Thus say they are from the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. The term "Soviet" has a lot of connotations, and is not a good nationality describer. He was from the Russian Empire, and we should make it clear we are saying that in the terminology we use. A lot of people who were from the Russian Empire would not have considered themselves to be "Russian". John Pack Lambert ( talk) 18:54, 25 January 2023 (UTC) reply
