del. Whatever it is, it is not a disambiguation page. After deletion of erroneous and irrelevant entries we end with the list of historical periods of Russia, i.e., table of contents of the
History of Russia. `'

Comment: there are other objects named "Russia", like a ship
[1] fighting during Crimean war in Sveaborg or a
hotel. And the historical terminology listed on the page is quite useful.

Keep, but clean up and/or rewrite, and include other entities by this name. I would imagine that a ship and a hotel Pavel mentioned above aren't the only ones (but even if they are, it's already enough to keep the page). Not so sure as to whether the historical terminology is quite as useful. Leaving Little and White Russias makes some sense and could be convenient, but technically they do not belong on this disambiguation page, because "Russia" is only a part of their names.—

Keep. Looks like a disambiguation page because it is a disambiguation page. I've added some other articles that belong on it as well. The headings could be improved, among other things, but need for improvement is not a reason for deletion.

Delete If anything actually LINKS here (and it's not much) it can just as easily be linked to its proper places. There is not reason to disambiguate "Russia," and if people are looking for the ship or what not, it's just as easy to provide a link on the Russia page that re-directs.

Is anyone reading the page before commenting? There's a ship, three US towns, an asteroid, and a horse. How do you propose to guide people to these without a disambiguation page?
