Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Dagestan — The entry states Dagestan is 'Russia’s southernmost point', which is misleading because the southernmost point is a specific location near Mount Bazardüzü, not the entire republic.

Dagestan — The entry gives 643 as the definitive year for the Arab conquest of Derbent and the first Muslims in current Russian territory, but the exact year is debated and some sources place it later (e.g., 654 or 655).

Ingushetia — The entry states Ingushetia 'borders Georgia to the south,' but Ingushetia does not share a recognized international border with Georgia; its southern neighbor is North Ossetia–Alania.

Ingushetia — The entry states the republic was created on 4 June 1992, but the official establishment as a federal subject occurred on 10 December 1992.

Kabardino-Balkaria — The claim that the region was under Georgian rule from 1295 to around 1427 is not supported by mainstream historical sources; the area was part of the Golden Horde and later fragmented into local principalities.

Kabardino-Balkaria — The statement that the region was part of Circassia until the death of King Inal in 1453 is misleading; Inal is a semi-legendary figure, and the timeline of Circassian political unity is unclear.

Kalmykia — The Kalmyks did not become vassals of a separate 'Kalmyk Khan' before forming the Kalmyk Khanate; the Kalmyk Khanate was the political entity they established, and they became vassals of the Tsar of Russia.

Kalmykia — The Dzungars were a confederation of Oirat tribes, not a separate neighboring Mongol tribe; the migration was partly due to internal Oirat conflicts and pressure from the Dzungar Khanate.

Karachay-Cherkessia — The Cherkess Autonomous Oblast was not 'incorporated' into the Karachay-Cherkess Autonomous Oblast on 9 January 1957; rather, the Karachay-Cherkess Autonomous Oblast was re-established on that date, uniting the former Karachay and Cherkess territories, and the

Karelia — The entry states that the Treaty of Nöteborg in 1323 gave Sweden 'the southern portion of the Karelian Isthmus and most of South Karelia' and Novgorod 'the northern portion of the Karelian Isthmus, North Karelia, Ladoga Karelia, and the northern portion of Sou

Karelia — The entry says 'the ceded provinces were incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Finland in 1812,' which is misleading: the territories ceded by Sweden in 1809 were incorporated into the Grand Duchy in 1809, not 1812; 1812 refers to the transfer of Viipuri Provin

Khakassia — The highest point in Khakassia is Mount Karagosh, not Kyzlasov Peak.

Khakassia — The largest river entirely within Khakassia is the Abakan River, not the Yenisei.

Komi Republic — The highest point listed as Mount Narodnaya is misleading because it is not entirely within the Komi Republic; the highest point entirely within Komi is Mount Karpinsky or another peak.

Komi Republic — The claim that Gulag prisoners built Syktyvkar is inaccurate because the city existed as Ust-Sysolsk since 1780, long before the Gulag era.
