This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

Archives:

The Portal:Russia/Hidden Gems subpage is to list recently unearthed articles that cover Russia-related topics which

have been neglected for quite some time after insignificant edits of the initial contribution, and
require serious intervention of Russian editors.

Such articles may exist e.g., because they were not categorized or not linked to/from anywhere notable.

Please do not list here articles merely because they are in poor shape or under a heavy POV dispute: this page is intended to be a certain extension of the Portal:Russia/New article announcements, according to the Russian proverb: "New" is something forgotten for good.

As a rule of thumb, don't list articles edited by active members of project Russia.
