Talk:List of Russian inventors

Expanding the list
For those who want to help in expanding this list, see Category:Russian inventors. Much more Russian inventors are listed there, compared to this list. If you want to add them here, try to choose those who invented something notable, and was first or among the first in the world, not first only in Russia. Many articles about inventors haven't enough illustrative material and lack information on specific inventions; if such aricles are improved the corresponding inventors may be added here.
