-The '''[[Kingdom of Argonne]]''' is a miniature Kingdom that was established in 2019 as the '''Prince-Abbacy of Inselwald'''. Although the kingdom shares many characteristics of a [[micronation]], it does not generally consider itself to be a micronation and prefers the self-descriptive term ''miniature monarchy''.
+'''[[Russkaya Station]]''' is a former Soviet and Russian [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] research station that was located on the [[Ruppert Coast]], in [[Westarctica]]. The station was proposed in 1973 and approved in 1978.  Construction began the next year and it was opened on 9 March 1980 and officially abandoned after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1990. The station was mothballed in the beginning of 1990, being closed in such a way that it could be re-opened with minimal effort.
-Although there are a number of ties between Argonne and [[Westarctica]], none of them are formal. This is seen as being primarily due to the relative infancy of the Kingdom, with official [[Foreign relations of Westarctica|diplomatic ties]] very likely in the future. [[King James of Argonne|King James]] and [[Grand Duke Travis]] of Westarctica are personal friends, in addition to enjoying good relations with the [[Kingdom of Scone]] during the King's time on the Sconnish throne. The King also retains membership in multiple [[Orders of Westarctica|Westarctican orders]] from his time as King of Scone.
+In February 2006, Valeriy Lukin, the head of the Russian Antarctic Expedition (RAE), stated: "There are plans to open the mothballed stations Molodyozhnaya, Leningradskaya, and Russkaya in the 2007–2008 season." However, by 2012 it was reported that reactivation plans, although delayed, had not commenced.
