Delete POV title; this was a no-consensus close last time round, but this has been tagged for cleanup for soooo long and no one is bothering to clean it up, time for it to go now. Anything non-trivial here can or should be found in Human rights in Russia, so we don't need this POV-bomb lurking around what we call an encyclopedia. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:45, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

 * The article describes allegations of poisoning, staging terrorist acts, waging a war in a province. I think such allegations are of related yet different scope comparing to human rights violations.  Note that the editorial voice of the article does not and should not allege such crimes.  --ilgiz (talk) 02:33, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge:Seems to WP:OR, should be merged in Human rights in Russia. On the other hand incidents such as Russian apartment bombings seems to me as act of state terrorism, but they lack one or two references. yousaf465
 * It should be pointed out that the section about Russian apartment bombings is highly biased when compared to the main article. It doesn't mention any criticism of the conspiracy theories, and uses biased wording: "The bombings had stopped after a controversial episode when a similar bomb was found..." (implying that the controversial episode was the reason why the bombings stopped, although there is no evidence to support this.) This section is clearly a POV-fork.

 * Most of the content is salvageable and can be merged into appropriate articles (if it's not there already), but the article itself most definitely should go, if only because of its POV title and approach. Delete—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:13, July 29, 2009 (UTC)
