This page and its subpages serve as a central directory of articles, with specific and general tasks designed to focus the efforts of Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there. Also, see the task force pages of the project, and their to-do lists.

Scope
This project covers the creation and editing of articles related to the nation of Russia, its cities, counties, geography, transport, culture, history and so on. It aims to expand Wikipedia's resources on Russia in a fair and accurate manner.
As of 2 March 2025, there are 93,820 articles within the scope of WikiProject Russia, of which 113 are featured and 421 are good articles. This makes up 1.35% of the articles on Wikipedia, 1% of all featured articles and lists, and 1.02% of all good articles. Including non-article pages, such as talk pages, redirects, categories, etc., there are 187,640 pages in the project.
Subject structure and navigation
Goals pertaining to the structure of the subject itself include:
Refine and maintain the Outline of Russia, a key guide on Wikipedia to Russia as a subject.
Refine and maintain Category:Russia and its subcategories. (See below)
This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk·contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged or categorized (e.g. Category:WikiProject Russia articles) correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.
