Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Dagestan — The entry states that Dagestan shares a land border with Georgia, but it does not; Dagestan's only international land borders are with Azerbaijan.

Dagestan — The entry lists Chechen as one of the 14 official languages of Dagestan, but Chechen is not an official language; the official languages are 13 and do not include Chechen.

Kabardino-Balkaria — The claim that the region was governed by Georgians from 1295 to around 1427 is inaccurate; there is no established historical record of Georgian governance over the territory of modern Kabardino-Balkaria for this entire period.

Kabardino-Balkaria — The claim that the region became part of Circassia, which remained independent until the death of King Inal in 1453, is misleading; Inal is a legendary or semi-legendary figure and the date 1453 is not reliably attested.

Kalmykia — Kalmykia does not border Dagestan; the Kuma River forms the border between Dagestan and Stavropol Krai, not Kalmykia.

Kalmykia — The Kalmyks (Oirats) were part of the Dzungar confederation, not fleeing from it; their migration was due to internal Oirat conflicts and pressure from Khalkha Mongols and the Russian Empire.

Karachay-Cherkessia — The entry says 'On 3 July 1991, the autonomous oblast was elevated to the status of the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of Karachay-Cherkessia.' This is incorrect: it was elevated to the Karachay-Cherkess Soviet Socialist Republic (not ASSR) on that date.

Karelia — The Treaty of Nöteborg in 1323 did not divide Karelia as described: Sweden received the southern part of the Karelian Isthmus and western parts of Karelia, while Novgorod received most of Karelia including Ladoga Karelia and the northern part of the Karelian I

Karelia — The Treaty of Åbo in 1743 ceded only a small part of southeastern Finland (including the fortress of Lappeenranta and parts of South Karelia) to Russia, not 'South Karelia' as a whole; the description is overly broad and inaccurate.

Khakassia — The highest point is listed as Kyzlasov Peak, but the actual highest point in Khakassia is Mount Karagosh (or Karagosh Peak), not Kyzlasov Peak.

Khakassia — The area is stated as 61,900 km², but the official area of Khakassia is approximately 61,569 km².

Komi Republic — The Komi Republic is the third-largest federal region by area in European Russia after Arkhangelsk Oblast and the Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

Komi Republic — The highest point in the republic is Mount Narodnaya at 1,895 m.

Mordovia — The LORE section says 'The Principality of Purgaz survived the war with Vladimir-Suzdal, which ended in 1232'; historically, the war ended in 1232 with the defeat and destruction of the Principality of Purgaz by Vladimir-Suzdal forces, not its survival.

Mordovia — The LORE section states 'Mordovia was held by Bolsheviks from the beginning of the war' (referring to the Russian Civil War); this is inaccurate as the region saw significant anti-Bolshevik uprisings and was not firmly under Bolshevik control from the start.
