The infobox says that protests took place on 2 March and 15 March (i.e. only on two days), but they still claimed as ongoing in the lead. What reason? Seryo93 (talk) 12:26, 20 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Wanted to say the same thing. Also since this article is so small I would like to propose a deletion, also 2 alleged protests dont give enough reason for a plural in the name.--AzraeL9128 (talk) 01:02, 25 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
Then again, anyone with any deep understanding of world events are likely to understand that this so-called "anti-war" movement - far from being grass roots driven - is a Western-backed anti-Russian protest. So, what about the title: "2014 Color Revolt in Russia"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.150.48.114 (talk) 21:28, 6 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
First of all, this was not a revolution, it was a series of protests that didn't result in any political changes at all. Second of all, describing this as a color revolt is original research that is not substantiated by any major sources. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Not a conspiracy theory website.

Oppose these were not the only protests in Russia in 2014; AFAIR there were several anti-Ukraine demonstrations as well, and some Anti-Putin protests not related to the war, and some anti-Olympics protests, etc. -- 67.70.32.20 (talk) 07:00, 13 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
No, this article does not cover all the protests in Russia at all. That is not the scope of this article. So the proposed title does not match the scope of the article. -- 67.70.32.20 (talk) 05:46, 14 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
In that case the article should be expanded to include broader coverage of the protests which were much more than just anti-war protests. Charles Essie (talk) 14:30, 14 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Re[1]. Ok, look, there's no requirement on English Wikipedia that the sources have to be in English. Yes, if possible, English sources are preferred, but that doesn't exclude non-English sources, any more than an academic publishing in an English journal is required to have a bibliography of English only references.
I am sorry, but you need to prove that it is a reliable source: if it were in English, I could tell in a minute, but I have no idea what this site is. Aside from the fact that the statement was very vague "Some observers...", couldn't you please find something (reliable, of course) in English, or prove with translations, or whatever, that it is indeed reliable? I have no reason to doubt your word, by the way, but Wikipedia needs more than that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.154.197.99 (talk) 18:53, 10 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
VM and MVBW: Maybe you Russians see things differently than us Westerners, but how can you expect the average Wikipedia reader to be able to read Russian/Ukrainian? A savvy reader will want to check the sources and, in this case, it will not be very easy to do, in fact it will be impossible for most of us. Can you lot not find reliable sources in English that state the same? It should not be hard if it is a known fact, now, should it? To find articles about the attacks in Paris I don't need to find some "Russian newspaper in Ukraine"... It is *everywhere*. No POV pushing, please. Cheers, and good luck with your search, --62.154.197.99 (talk) 07:51, 11 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
Great idea, My very best wishes!!! We all know that google translator is number one when it comes to translating stuff correctly!!! :-D Seriously??? hahhaaha You know very well what I mean and you know I am right. Just find a reliable, English speaking source that states the same and we are done. Come on, you can do it! Wikipedia can be better if we all try!

It looks a lot better now, My Very Best Wishes, good work. As a rule of thumb I would say we shpuld try and use only mainstream Western Media, when dealing with this kind of stuff, in other words: no RT and no Ukrainian outlets. Cheers, --Sixtytwoonefiftyfouroneninesevenninenine (talk) 17:12, 13 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
No, that would be wrong. One can use RT for sourcing official claims by the Russian government and for sourcing "nonpolitical" claims, and one can use Ukrainian news outlets. I made the change only because this particular number did not seem to be supported by multiple sources. My very best wishes (talk)
