	00:30, 13 July 2016	1,427 × 628 (41 KB)	Kwamikagami	Reverted to version as of 00:29, 1 July 2016 - no, this is the only one, and "spoken" is meaningless. We need at least one map that isn't bullshit.
	13:13, 8 July 2016	1,427 × 628 (39 KB)	Turnless	Reverted to version as of 03:47, 2 February 2016 (UTC) Leave this term for this map. There are other maps of the Russian language that use de facto working language
	00:29, 1 July 2016	1,427 × 628 (41 KB)	Kwamikagami	Oops, not in Mongolia either (and a very small native population there). Changed wording from working to regionally official or working to cover fluid situation in Ukraine.
	07:20, 23 April 2016	1,427 × 628 (40 KB)	Kwamikagami	Changed the meaningless term "spoken" (Russian is spoken in anglophone countries too) to "de facto working language"; removed Israel as it is not a working language there. Source: Ethnologue 18. If you want to change this again, please provide a source.

	12:15, 18 January 2016	1,427 × 628 (59 KB)	Ercwlff	that's nothing if 20-25 % of citizens can speak russian,. removed israel and georgia
	00:23, 13 September 2015	1,427 × 628 (36 KB)	फ़िलप्रो	removed Mongolia
	01:27, 11 April 2015	1,427 × 628 (39 KB)	Leftcry	Update and fix map. Added Baltic states as over 50% of the population in each country knows Russian. Added Israel as about 20% of the population speaks Russian.
