Note that this is subordinate to Category:Russian history, which is subordinate to Category:Russia. I don't necessarily object to that, since the Russian SSR so dominated the Soviet Union, but it is a little problematic. It means that subordinate categories (such as Category:Leaders of the Soviet Union) are indirectly under Russia, even though the people in question are not all Russians (Stalin being an obvious example to the contrary: he was Georgian).
Should we have a note about this in the category itself? -- Jmabel 21:25, Jul 18, 2004 (UTC)
