I changed English: Moscowphilism into just (Moscowphilism) as I believe mentioning that it is in English is redundant. This term is unusual but it is used in historiographical literature[1][2]and it being an equivalent to a known Ukrainian term merits its mentioning in brackets. I would appreciate anyone voicing their opinion before just editing silently.Hillock65 16:35, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

merge

Parts of this article should be merged with Ukrainian Russophiles, as both cover the same subject matter.--Hillock65 03:21, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Problem is that this article is simply underdeveloped. Russophilia is much more a general subject than the political movement in W. Ukraine 100 years ago. That was a very distinct movement. This article is by far more general but I added the "details" tag, to make sure they are linked and help maintain their consistency. --Irpen 03:31, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Russophiles in Ukriane? It is absured,most of the people in Ukraine are Russian,there are Kievan Rus,Muscovite Rus,White Rus,and others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.181.184.22 (talk) 19:42, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think both articles should be merged into one article, and that there should be much broader coverage Russophilia in the former Soviet Union. Charles Essie (talk) 21:20, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Galician Russophile article is about a very specific phenomenon in a very specific region and time. While a general article about Russophilia ought to include a summary of this article and alink to it, this topic is an independent one worthy of its own article.Faustian (talk) 00:07, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, at the very least, this article should be expanded, in that it includes very little information about the history of Russophilia, and it's current status. Charles Essie (talk) 17:23, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Russophilia?

I am having hard time to find any source in this article that directly describe what "Russophilia" or its examples. It Reads as collection of any show of support for Russia and cases of Russian nationalism as oppose to Russian cultural appreciation.--PLNR (talk) 12:50, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notable Russophiles

Is being a politician with friendly ties to Russia (or more particularly its leadership) enough to justify someone's (alleged) "Russophilia"? Or is it rather meant to be a wall of shame? If someone political leader has friendly ties to the USA/China is that Americanophilia/Sinophilia? Is this list rather meant to be a Wall of Shame along the lines of notable highly "unbiased" Western news organizations?
