Russia is imperialist state dangerous to both own citizens and citizens of neighbour countries. Russia is in good relations with countries like North Korea and China - countries that don't care at all about rights of own citizens.
I removed this, as it is not in line with the neutral point of view. I'm not saying it isn't true, but it needs to be rewritten in a more objective fashion appropriate for an encyclopedia. For example,
"The people of Chechnya consider their land to be an independant state under Russian occupation. There are many reports coming out of the region of atrocities committed by the Russian army."
And for the second paragraph:
"Russia maintains close relations with North Korea and China, both of which have been heavily criticized for their rejection of various human rights for their citizens."
I didn't leave either of these in on the Russia/Government page, however, as these seem to belong in separate articles. -- STG
While comparision to Hitler/Stalin is quite subjective (but still true), Chechnya was independent country before Russian invasion.
