Welcome to the Russian, Soviet and CIS military history task force. If you have any questions about articles or are generally seeking advice, you're encouraged to ask at the main military history talk page, or you can directly approach one of the task force participants below. The coordinators of the Military history WikiProject can be contacted here. Scope This task force covers much of the military history of the post-Soviet states and territories formerly part of the Soviet Union and the Russian Empire. It covers twelve Soviet successor states Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, the Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, and also the nearby state of Mongolia. However, the military affairs in the area of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are the subject of the Baltic states military history task force, Finland’s military history is covered by the Nordic military history task force, and Poland’s military history has the Polish military history task force. Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding Russian-task-force=yes or Russian=y to the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into Category:Russian, Soviet and CIS military history task force articles.
