- 09:57, 12 April 2024 diff hist +87 Vladimir Putin →Gimmie a "K", gimmie a "G", gimme a "B": At the moment "FSB Blows Up Russia" has the status of a conspiracy theory with no proof other than the Litvinenko personal account and the "Ryazan sugar" story, which is suspicious, but nothing beyond that. A Russian opposition politician Maxim Kac has published a detailed debunk of this theory on his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Kf2yUlDlns&t=0s. Many other Russian opposition leaders disagree with Kac, but no one has poofs.
- 09:40, 12 April 2024 diff hist -10 Vladimir Putin →1984: Deleted page reference from the now-deleted reference to Snyder's book and corrected a spelling mistake in the Russian name of the Dugin's book.
- 09:32, 12 April 2024 diff hist +96 Vladimir Putin →1984: Dugin had developed "his" "theories" long before 2014, and they are not as much his work as just a compilation of various conspiracy theories circulating in Russia for decades. Also, there is no reliable evidence in favor of him personally having much influence on Putin, let alone being Putin's personal advisor.
- 08:58, 12 April 2024 diff hist -112 Vladimir Putin →Reality-defying good stuff?: The referendum in Crimea was staged, as was shown, among others, by Russian social geographer Alexander Kireev (https://www.trv-science.ru/2014/03/matematika-i-referendum-po-krymu/). One should not try to explain something that has never happened.

- 08:40, 12 April 2024 diff hist -59 Vladimir Putin →Reality-defying good stuff?: minor phrasing improvement and deletion of a doubling reference.
- 08:36, 12 April 2024 diff hist +1,031 Vladimir Putin →Reality-defying good stuff?: What is meant by a prestigious program? Serving in DDR was not prestegious for a KGB agent by any means, DDR being under complete soviet control. By his own account (https://news.rambler.ru/politics/45039852-putin-vspomnil-o-bolshoy-lyubvi-k-pivu-v-studenchestve/), his grades at the university were "not very good", because he "liked beer too much". His doctoral thesis was plagiarised (https://republic.ru/posts/32194), and likely not even by himself.
- 07:56, 12 April 2024 diff hist +69 Vladimir Putin →Rise to power: Stierlitz was not the winner of the poll. In fact, there were two polls, in one the winner was Peter the Great (from a soviet movie by Simonov), in the other - marshal Georgii Jukov from another soviet movie "Liberation". I linked the original "Коммерсантъ" article in Russian.
