To the proposed motion is:
The TalkBoard recommends the creation of an Airlines of Russia forum.
Correct?

Sounds good to me, except we should probably change from countries to republics.

There's no cultural or other sorts of issues/problems/in-sensitivities with referring to those republics thusly, is there? Is this how the republics refer to themselves!?

i am sorry to throw a stick in this wheel - I do support he idea overall - but indeed many Ukrainians might take if not offense but a stand against being called "other Russia" :-)
Same goes for Baltics - except 100 times stronger.
Georgians may actually get offended.
Even the most loyal - Belorussians dont like when their national identify is mixed.
how about "Airlines of post-USSR space" or ex-USSR?

Where are most of the Airlines of Russia, countries, republics, etc, threads currently going? Maybe start a thread in that forum giving folk a heads up that this is being considered, as not everyone knows about or goes to TB. Provide a link to this thread & ask that their input be posted here. Might give you the additional input you're seeking.
Cheers.

Create individual sections for each.
Not a combined one. Can't see what the issue is with doing this, will encourage more content in each area and enrich FT.
