You have made it abundantly clear that other editors are definitely not welcome. Thus the sorry state of our articles in this area. I know your interpretation of the "Russian constitutional crisis of 1993" is not to be trusted. Yet I wonder what did happen... Not much chance I'll be able to find out by consulting Wikipedia any time soon.
The page histories and talk pages say otherwise. (1) On Russian constitutional crisis of 1993, I did not revert recent copyediting (User:Sj's in particular); and I support those changes. (2) On History of post-Soviet Russia, the only other user who has made a substantial contribution is User:Paranoid; I welcomed his/her changes a few weeks ago as well. (3) Before your latest personal attack, I put History of post-Soviet Russia on peer review. (4) Another user posted an excerpt of the FAC process on the talk page of Russian constitutional crisis of 1993. This page will also demonstrate that your claims are clearly wrong and mean-spirited. For example, after User:A. Shetsen laid out several sets of concerns on FAC, he had apparently felt satisfied enough with my responses on FAC and my changes to the article that he withdrew his objections to the featuring of the article. A couple of users made briefer comments. I then addressed their concerns; they were satisfied as well and their objections were subsequently withdrawn as well.
I can't think of too many other examples off the top of my head, but keep in mind that this wasn't a heavily edited area to begin with before I started recent work on post-Soviet Russia. The record will show that I have made a number of good-faith efforts to bring other users into the fold on an area of articles that haven't been getting as much attention as they should be getting.
Finally, I challenge Fred Bauder to find ONE clear factual inaccuracy in Russian constitutional crisis of 1993. Back up your personal attacks with evidence for one.
