My main concern is the references. From my count, there was seventeen dead links (that alone should fail the article) and several more with connection issues. Also, there are numerous unsourced paragraphs. From the "Modern culture" section down, there are hardly any references at all. In addition, there are 6 dablinks. If no one is willing to fix these references and add more, I don't see any reason why this article should stay GA status. Philipmj24 ( talk) 03:04, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
As long as ridiculous claims of current superpower status are maintained in the introduction no reader will take this article seriously. There is no shame removing the GA status unless those patriotic motivated boosterims are cleared of. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.225.149.205 ( talk) 15:02, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Russia is one of the largest gas and oil exporter, so what ? Being a provider of raw material (only) is the typical wholemark of a third world country. Russia ceased to be a so called superpower in 1989. The last 10 years it was not even a full G8 member. Today its a BRIC country like India or Brazil. Its economy is smaller than Spain. The introduction needs clear cut facts not wishful thinking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.53.1.108 ( talk) 19:39, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
I suggest to discuss it right here because a sentence of half superpower sources and half non-superpower sources in the lead is absurd. This is poor style, not worth of GA. Nobody in the world counts nuclear capabilities as prime reason for power, because all developed countries have them. Again Russia has long ceased to be a superpower, it has almost no influence outside its borders. Cultural, technological or economic clout is missing, apart from the resources. Get real: Russia loses its brains to the west and needs the west expertise to raise its standard of living. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.53.1.108 ( talk) 22:22, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
