This is not a "List of countries where Russian is an official language". Such a list is given in the first section, and it has five entries, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan.
The article then goes on to discuss " Regions where Russian is an official language" and "Organisations with Russian as an official language" and "several other countries where Russian, though not official, is an important secondary language".
This is all fine, but it doesn't fit the page title, so perhaps merge it into a page on the wider concept of " Russian-speaking world".
Also, it would be nice (actually: required) to base this on references. It's not enough to say "here are a few countries where Russian speakers live", because that would include practically every country in the world. If you want to discuss a concept of " not official, but an important secondary language", you are making a judgement call, and this needs to be based on secondary references. -- dab (𒁳) 14:11, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
Russian is also the official language of the newly self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic and Lugansk People's Republic

Please provide sources where the Federation of Novorossia is recognised by any official nation-state (particularly as it violates WP:RECENTISM).
The map is pure fiction. Again, provide sources demonstrating that Russian is a de facto language in Ukraine and other regions illustrated. The map, itself, is completely illiterate: "Russia in a de facto working language". What does that actually mean in English? This article is WP:POV and, frankly, WP:OR. Please get anything which stands up to scrutiny merged into the Russophone article ASAP. If not, I'll simply mark it for speedy deletion. -- Iryna Harpy ( talk) 06:17, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
List of territorial entities where Russian is an official language. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
An editor has reviewed this edit and fixed any errors that were found.

French is declared the language of France, including autonomous regions [1], but local constitutions still warrant mention on Wikipedia [2]. In following this policy, it is worth documentation that Russia's Republics, which function much in the same way, also be mentioned in the same provisions that French is an official language. Therefore, the reason for including these republics is the recognition of official, regional constitutional declarations on language.

The reasoning for Donetsk and Lugansk regions being mentioned twice is the different legal implications. Both are controlled de facto independently from Ukraine, and these de facto constitutions establish Russian (and Ukrainian) as official languages. The law of 2012 on Ukrainian languages also applies to said regions, whom had previously made the language official in the oblasts. Because they did this, in both spheres of continuity, the Russian language is official. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.227.189.45 ( talk) 20:14, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
@ PsichoPuzo: I reverted your changes here, here, and then here. Firstly, you should provide edit summaries for the benefit of other editors/contributors, particularly when reverted once for not having provided sources for such major changes. Secondly, I'm aware of the recently amended language component of the Law of Ukraine, as are multiple other editors, but the contention is a far broader than overriding regional law, and there are no sources to back up any changes to regional laws. Anything you read into sources is a breach of WP:NOR and WP:SYNTH. Please provide reliable sources confirming that the four regions/oblasts you've removed have actually actually retracted the co-official status of Russian (such as it is) before making this major change again.
I noticed that you've just made the same change to the corresponding Ukrainian article without citing any sources. Surely you must have some Ukrainian language sources confirming the retraction of official status?
I'm going to ping Seryo93 and Heptor in on this as they may be able to clarify further, or have further sourcing for changes. Iryna Harpy ( talk) 23:08, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
Also it should be moved to another section, presumably into: Russian with other unofficial status.-- PsichoPuzo ( talk) 17:14, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:List of territorial entities where Afrikaans and Dutch are official languages which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 16:24, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
Would it be appropriate to include Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh Republic) in this list now? I think like a week ago they made Russian official.
