This list appears to cover only Russia and its predecessor the Russian SFSR, as there is no mention of renamed cities in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan or Ukraine. //Big Adamsky 01:34, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure who moved the article to its new name (yeah, I could have checked history, but...). I certainly only intended to list Russian cities. You are, of course, welcome to add sections for other post-Soviet countries, although I suspect that the list will become too long and will have to be split anyway.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 13:10, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed split

Would anyone object if this article is split, so each country would get its own article? The article as it exists is a tad too long, and is only bound to grow. This is an informal request, but please voice your objections here if you have any.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:35, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, it would be better with it split. —dima/s-ko/ 20:32, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It seems a good proposal to me. The article started from Russian cities only, and the CIS sections started to grow later. Goudzovski 06:52, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The split is complete. Information on city name changes in other countries of the former Soviet Union was moved to "List of renamed cities in XXX", where "XXX" is the name of the country—e.g., List of renamed cities in Ukraine.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:56, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
