Re this edit, I don't agree with the change, as Rus would not be a right name for the state that existed in the 16-18th centuries whose demographics are discussed in this article.

Rus history is definitely not owned by Russia. The Demographic history of Poland article has some data about modern Ukraine and Belarus and it's linked from this article. Once we have more information it would probably make sense to create separate article for Demographic history of Rus, Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Tsardom of Russia, etc. For now I don't think the scope of this article would lead to confusion.

 * Well, the fact of the matter is that interwiki to Russian Wikipedia article is not quite correct to say the least. Russian article covers only "Население Древней Руси" (that is, population of Kievan Rus'), whilst our one covers entire Demographic history of Russia, up to modern Russia. Article dedicated only to Kievan Rus' would be quite correctly titled with "Rus'" (rather than "Russian"), but this is not the case here. This article is more comparable to History of Russia (which includes Kievan Rus' but not limited to it). I would suggest breaking interwiki as incorrect.

 * Yes, the scope of the ru-wiki article is narrower. There is an article in ru-wiki about the population of the Russian Empire (starting from 1678) and nothing about the period between Kievan Rus and Russian Empire so I figured even a partial overlap would warrant an interwiki link. I don't have a strong opinion about it, if you feel it does more harm than good feel free to remove it. Alaexis¿question? 20:51, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I think, making interwiki with R with possibilities redirect (Demographics of Kievan Rus' → Demographic history of Russia) would be a workable solution for the time being. Bests, --Seryo93 (talk) 13:40, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Sounds good! Alaexis¿question? 15:18, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
