Citations

This is a pretty good article. One thing it needs is in-line citations. The references at the bottom are good, but that is not enough. Many points in this article are the subject of considerable debate among historians. This doesn't take away from the article's value, its just that it needs to reflect the debate a little more. This article has done very well considering its age. Moomot 22:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline

The timeline currently has but 1 point, this needs to be fixed up. I would do it myself, but my knowledge in the era isn't the greatest. Anyone care to fix this? 59.101.43.3 03:30, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Intro

Expanded the introduction. Seems like a good article otherwise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.241.121.70 (talk) 00:58, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have edited the Intro. "...much as it might have liked., September 18th 1991 Regardless, the USSR..." the date in this line is out of place and has been removed. It was caused by a code snip: ", September 18th 1991 {{citation}}: Check date values in: |date= (help); Missing or empty |title= (help)" which I have also removed. I dont know what this code was supposed to do, it only displayed a text-based date; itd be easier just to type the actual date. 74.128.56.194 (talk) 02:23, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nations that lost territory after the Cold War

I disagree with listing China under this section. In the post-Cold War border agreements between China and Russia/Tajikistan/Kazakhstan/Kyrgyzstan, the PRC had gained (or regained) territory that were taken by Czarist Russia in 19th century. Although the PRC had made substantial compromises in accepting less, these were still territories that were not under PRC's control, and the agreements were made possible with the fall of USSR.
